[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3801507, member: 5412"] Those cloud generators were hyperbolic water coolers. Some are natural draft and some are forced draft. It's just water vapor that carries zero pollution as I'm sure you already know. I hate it when the liberal media show clouds of steam and call it pollution coming from smoke stacks. It's not smoke, its pure water. Has there been pollution, yes, when there has been a malfunction of the system and it is quickly shut down until corrected. Those not in the power industry would be surprised at how tightly stack pollution is monitored according to the EPA. I was part of that team with OG&E. If any cheating is caught, two people go to jail. First is the tech that cheated and second is the plant manager. When getting through the training, we had a mandatory meeting with the plant manager saying he was not going to jail and we had better not put him in that position. Glad to see Europe putting the coal plants back into operation. Most were mothballed in the interest of wind and solar programs that are failing now. Texas is fighting some of the same issues going too deep into renewables and mothballing coal plants vs bringing them up to EPA standards like the Okla Corporation Commission has done in allowing OG&E to upgrade their coal burners into clean coal technology. It's called base load. Wind and solar cannot meet base load. Base load is defined as the amount of power to maintain adequate reserves to cover plant outages up to catastrophic incidences like huge ice storms that bring down power lines. Renewables cannot currently do this. Tx failed and Commifornika failed. All are facing rolling blackouts. Europe failed as well. We are a hundred years away from any sort of total renewable energy as there is currently no storage system in place to store energy to supply the grid when there is no wind and the sun isn't shining but the green politicians that want to fund their $$ donors are trying to repay them.
