After seeing following image of a windmill and a cooling tower of power plant I thought that if Miguel de Cervantes was alive today, he most probably would have made Don Quixote attack the ash/smoke spewing cooling towers (actually these emit water vapours) instead of the windmills and instead of dreaming to be a knight, Don Quixote would have gained fame as an environmentalist. With this in my mind I started searching for largest cluster of Cooling Towers and found one with 9 cooling towers in a single cluster and another one with 12 towers in two clusters of 6 each. Your task is to find these two sets of cooling towers and post their GE/GM (not GSV) views and also try to find bigger cluster(s) than mine. My search for bigger clusters continues. Note: By cooling towers I mean the free standing type of towers shown above and not the Industrial Cooling Tower System shown in this link.

I’m still searching for one of the two. Did you ‘visit’ the small town near the windmill? Not a pretty sight ....

Well done krenek , Walter_V_R and lockhopper I had found these cooling towers the hard way - poring over the list of large Thermal Power Stations (Coal. Peat, Lignite, Nuclear etc) and also searching the images of cooling towers. For others who have yet to find these, I will make the task easier by giving clues; One uses Biomass and other uses Lignite as fuel. I have yet to find the Niner posted by krenek and I request him to please post a clue for finding it. Thanks in advance.
