PBS NOVA used this footage in their April 20, 2011 program, Power Surge.

This is a compilation of timelapse videos I shot during December of 2009 and January of 2010. The music was taken from the trailer for Kubric's "The Shining". This is a Mid American Energy power station: located south of Council Bluffs Iowa.

@dtchunkbrown What comes out of the stack is not steam used to roll the turbine. It is however pretty harmless. Air quality systems turn the flue gas into mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide.

@dtchunkbrown You're a fool. That is steam. You could stand over it and breathe it in and suffer no health related problems. But what you are ignoring, maybe deliberately, is that the steam you're seeing is being emitted 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, by THOUSANDS of other coal plants, and that my friend, is GREENHOUSE GAS emission that is causing global warming.

You forgot to add steam to your tags. Afterall, that's what this video shows.

Whats the difference between this and the BP disaster? Media attention.
Thanks for posting.

Abandoned coal power plant on the Hudson, New Yorkby sashamalchik2,297 views
@bd1965 That is steam flowing out of those smoke stacks! the process of a coal fired power plant heats the coal over tubes of water to create steam. that steam then fires the turbine, and what is not reused is cooled and/or released. there is no environmental issues here, and although it can look like it is a disaster, it is not.
