nathan_ross 0 Posted December 27, 2005 This is quite an amazing scene. For my interpretation, it really shows coal-fired power plants for the nasty mennace that they are, re: global warming. Link to comment
gabs 0 Posted December 27, 2005 I like how the attention is brought to the pollution . This is a hot topic and a beautiful way to portray it without trivializing it. Great composition! Link to comment
brian_martin2 0 Posted December 27, 2005 This is not a coal power plant. The Limerick Nuclear Power Plant is located in Pennsylvania and has two nuclear reactors. Everything is completely contained and "smoke" you see coming out of the cooling towers is steam produced from cooling water being poured over pipes full of hot water that keep the reactor controlled. There is no pollution here and if anything, the efficiency of nuclear power plants takes the load off of coal and natural gas plants that are more harmful to the enviroment. Now you know.

jim_hennessy 21 Posted December 29, 2005 Great color! All the light coming from the plant? Link to comment
fotgrafex 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Actually, the light was from all the sodium exterior lights on and around the buildings below the cooling towers. That was a long-winded... yes. Link to comment
nathan_ross 0 Posted January 3, 2006 So it's nuclear instead of coal. Thanks for clarifying that. Your comment that nuclear power has no pollution is interesting. How would you classify nuclear waste, if not a form of pollution? Is Chernobyl and its surrounding areas "polluted", or is there some other description? Link to comment
