"I hate cooling towers" is my latest Sun Earth Energy Blog.
Cooling Towers! I hate to see Cooling Towers!!
"A Testimony to Waste" {approx 60% wasted Heat Energy to the Atmosphere!!} Just as my {then Children} will testify, in the mid 1990's as we traveled down the A1 at Ferrybridge {Power Station} - [now demolished].

Coal, Gas, Oil or even Nuclear - all use Cooling Towers in respect of the steam turbines to drive the electricity generation: But the Carnot Cycle needs to revert the steam back into water
But the notion of "Centralised Power Generation remains - and there is the problem!
