Cooling towers are generally used by any large power plants located on lakes/rivers (whether they be nuclear, coal etc). If they're on the coast and use sea water cooling, they're less likely to use cooling towers.
The cooling towers always seem to make everyone think "nuclear" but they're just to recondense the steam for the turbines. They're used in any thermal power plant. This is a coal fired plant

Nice vid, just a short comment: it's not a nuclear plant you see, it's the brown coal plant near Weisweiler from the RWE company.

Well cooling tower is a cooling tower. They are huge everywhere. Coal powered plants may have those what they call natural draft cooling towers too.
