These devices cool the water condensed from steam ... even in fossil fuel plants. They are a good thing, since they limit temperature increases in rivers, ocean bays, and prevent fish kills.

Cooling tower pictures are deliberately confused with nuclear reactors, since they must be leaking radiation, right?

Oppose nuclear power... but please be informed... and honest ... about it.
