The top caption probably enough generation to run a State, confined to one small area.

The lower caption probably enough to run a small factory, if the wind is blowing, taking up much more area.

Can't see your point, if your talking about the emission from the cooling towers, well that's steam completely harmless.
It condenses and disappears in seconds, just like out of your kettle, but there is nothing like visual impact, to support sensationalism and misrepresentation.lol

If I had a choice, I'd live next to a wind farm over a coal fired power station any day.

Just in case you didn't hear Ponzi Joes hyperventilation to Alan Jones

“Can I be a little indulgent? I drive to Canberra to go to Parliament ... and I must say I find those wind turbines around Lake George to be utterly offensive,” Mr Hockey said. “I think they’re a blight on the landscape.”

+1. The gross misrepresentation of the steam has been presented over and over again, largely by the ABC, as evidence of nasty pollution.
Syd, you are usually not captive to such silly stuff.

True Julia - don't worry about the steam folks. Just water.
On the other hand...... you might be concerned about the actual smoke pollution from coal fired power stations - not to mention the mercury, SO2, CO2, Nitrous Oxide and so on

Nitrogen oxides (NOx): NOx pollution causes ground level ozone, or smog, which can burn lung tissue, exacerbate asthma, and make people more susceptible to chronic respiratory diseases. A typical uncontrolled coal plant emits 10,300 tons of NOx per year. A typical coal plant with emissions controls, including selective catalytic reduction technology, emits 3,300 tons of NOx per year.

Particulate matter: Particulate matter (also referred to as soot or fly ash) can cause chronic bronchitis, aggravated asthma, and premature death, as well as haze obstructing visibility. A typical uncontrolled plan emits 500 tons of small airborne particles each year. Baghouses installed inside coal plant smokestacks can capture as much as 99 percent of the particulates.

Mercury: Coal plants are responsible for more than half of the U.S. human-caused emissions of mercury, a toxic heavy metal that causes brain damage and heart problems. Just 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury deposited on a 25-acre lake can make the fish unsafe to eat. A typical uncontrolled coal plants emits approximately 170 pounds of mercury each year. Activated carbon injection technology can reduce mercury emissions by up to 90 percent when combined with baghouses. ACI technology is currently found on just 8 percent of the U.S. coal fleet.

Nothing like changing the subject to your pet agenda. By the way how are you going getting the Latrobe valley shut down?

Wasn't quite doing that SP. Did you notice I didn't mention a single word about the amount of CO2 coal fired stations produce ? Oops...

But I did think it was fair to point out that coal fired energy produces an absolute *hitload of pollution in it's own right. On those grounds alone clean alternatives should be carefully considered or at least ensuring that major pollutants are not allowed to escape from these sources

From your posts you didn't seem to think these were significant? Is that a fair comment ?

Absolutely, however it doesn't diminish the fact, the 'green' lobby use misleading photos of cooling towers for visual impact.
If they used photos of the discharge of chimney stacks, fitted with electrostatic precipitators, the audience would be less impressed by the rhetoric.
So in reality your group is guilty of deception, which in reality reduces your credibility.IMO

Also for the record, I don't give a rats whether we ship the coal overseas and pay through the nose for electricity, or burn it here.
It may sound all nice, warm and fuzzy to say we are saving the planet, in reality we are being stupid, unless there is a global solution we are just whipping ourselves.
Probaly should be on another thread, but I'm not really interested in pointless threads.

And you produce an "absolute *hitload" of warmist propaganda on threads where it is :topic

Somehow i don't think it's possible to get a photo of a major power station not in operation, so yes the cooling towers will have some steam.

The point I was trying to make is that if a few wind turbines are offensive, then what does that say about the rest of our energy infrastructure. The fact that it's safer to have renewable energy production closer to the end users should be something we embrace rather than criticise along the lines of visual pollution.

I'll stand by my comments that I'd much prefer to live next to a wind farm than a coal fired powered station. I find watching wind mills quite relaxing.
