    For those wondering, those cooling towers aren't just for nuclear plants. In fact, basically all thermal power generation can make use of them (This one was a Coal plant). The exist to cool down the water that's boiled to spin the turbines, then return it back to the power plant to be boiled again. This isn't necessary when a powerplant is near a large body of water and can just pump in new water, while pumping out the hot water.

    It's funny what you don't miss until its gone. These structures used to be a common site accross much of the UK, especially The Midlands and The North, where the coal supply was plentiful. I always remeber as kid seeing them on trips up and down the motorways and railway lines of the UK. They stood as major landmarks and often were an integral part of the economic and social life of the nearby towns. Rugeley was on such station. Ferrybridge (my local) was another. When you visit these small towns with these big old concrete behemoths now deleted from the skyline, it is actually quite strange, almost sad even.

It's the stark contrast between those huge buildings having been there for so long and suddenly being nothing there at all that I'm struggling to adjust to. I wasn't inferring we should go back to to coal power per say. Just that I kind of miss those huge distinctive shapes on the skyline in a way I never though I would. Of course it is rows and rows of wind turbines elsewhere that have taken their place so, who's to say people won't one day get all nostalgic over them too...

    Fun fact, these are just natural draft cooling towers. They are totally empty except for pipes running water up to grates near the bottom of them that atomize the water and then lets the atomized water fall down into a pond beneath, where it is pumped back into the plant to cool things. Pretty neat.

    Same happened to one of the most famous in the UK, the Ironbridge Cooling Towers. Iconic and pink, I used to see them every day for 20 years before they came down. They outlived their 40 year expected lifespan and were said to be weakened by the pink pigment they added (To make them blend with the local soil). But they outlived all predictions... Weirdly sad, as I suppose you get attached to something you see so often and then take it for granted when it's gone...
