Query area (e.g. power=plant) around coordinates

I've got a list of power plant locations.

How can I query the presence and id of a power=plant way around this location?

Why does it not find BMW ?

[out:json][timeout:600];
(
way(around:300,51.404924,12.444895)["landuse"="industrial"];
);
out body;

That way is more than 300 metres away from the coordinates you're checking. You'll need to increase the "around" distance.
