Cooling towers on power stations - why?

Stephen Biddle
Hi All


I was working on a power station in Oman last month and it was gas fired with condensing steam turbines - no evaporation.  This week I'm working on a coal fired one in Poland, which has cooling towers and evaporation.  Is it something to do with the gas or just that they have no water in Oman?


Thanks

    I'm differentiating between denial and scepticism.  Here I regard denial as an unjustified certainty.  My nephew "knows" that climate change is "pseudo science", because he watched a Youtube video.  I tried to get him to do some reading that I recommended to get him in a discussion, but he found it too much hard work.
