Water vapor, no hyperbolic cooling towers. There is less than 5% coal ash is blowing out the stacks, note you cannot see emissions from two stacks - those are true exhaust stacks. Coveyors do move coal about the plants and giant Big 10 CATs push the coal low, supress it with water, and pack it to reduce the chances of any fine particulate matter or coal escaping into the air we all breath.

@MrVanorsdol  cool thanks for the info did you work there?

my great grandfather use to be supervisor from 1965 and retired in 83 he used to work on top of those stacks and every where else. he is 91 yrs old, he also said that he never tied off so he wouldnt fall.

The atmosphere is a trash can.

Huge pollution...

The atmosphere is a new bin.

@drprdmrd ALL pulverized coal-fired power stations have smokestacks. And it's not steam coming out of them, it's water vapor from the scrubbers.

And they all need some form of cooling. They all have cooling towers. Some use a large body of water for most of their cooling needs (like Tampa Electric's Big Bend and Bayside power stations that use water from Tampa Bay) only need cooling towers for their auxiliary cooling.

Cooling towers don't produce steam either, they also produce water vapor.

@drprdmrd On what basis would I wish to mislead regarding our, the United States, Energy Infrastructure and basic plant operations stated with quantitative data supporting? I own no stock and work for a not for profit organization; please explain your suspicions, doc. Visit the Energy Information Administration for coal ash particulate matter allowances and opacity and then you try to find any true opposition. I said 5% to be overly conservative. V

I think this is disinfo.

@MrVanorsdol

I think this is disinfo.

[drprdmrd]

Why some coal fired power stations have "chimmney" for STEAM while some other have cooling tower for STEAM ?

[oomblikkies]

Look at the little cloud just to the right of the right chimney - it disappears rather quickly. That is steam - smoke can not do that.

I never worked there, looked at some pictures. The lake water getting to 105 F sounds more like a man made ash pond. H2O discharged clean from a coal plant will warm a strem by 2-5 degrees over ambient, a major change 'Earth wise'. However, the warm waters attract fish and bio diversity in wildlife. Arkansas has a plant w 22 groups of Bald Eagles. Discharged water is cleaner than bottled water. You looking at the energy field? New minds needed for a cleaner future! .
