OAK CREEK, Wis. -- Oak Creek emergency crews responded to an area south of the Oak Creek power plant Monday morning where a portion of a bluff slid into Lake Michigan.

The bluff, located just south of the We Energies Oak Creek power plant, collapsed to the lake around 11:18 a.m.

We Energies spokesman Brian Manthey said that all employees who reported to work this morning have been accounted for, and that there are no injuries in the incident.

1. Oak Creek Power Plant: 400 acres, 1135 MW capacity coal-burning plant.

Four primary turbines, all coal-fed dating from between 1959 and 1967, plus a small gas-fired turbine for startup power.

They're also building two more 615 MW coal burners on the same facility.

Lake Superior - what is to keep that plant from being the next thing to fall off that bluff?
