We made it past the barbed wire and spent hours inside English Station, a massive abandoned power plant on Ball Island in New Haven. The turbine hall stretched longer than a football field. The control room sat frozen under decades of dust. And up on the roof, where only plant workers ever went, we found brass lightning bolts set into the brickwork, hidden since 1929.
