All generators which use super heated steam need condensers but you can use air cooled condensers.The tech has improved a lot recently. They look like this.

 

In the first and third pictures above you can see the green trailor-looking buildings with the pipes running into/out of them.
Those are the condensers that help cool/recirculate the water.

Also, how much pollution was created by manufacturing all the metals and other things in the project, and how many centuries will this “green” plant have to operate to offset that?

What a butt-ugly eyesore. It’s almost as bad as the windmills.

Question 3:
Where did they put the coal-fired plant that will power these “140,000 homes” when it is cloudy? Or do they just intend to use diesel-fueled peaker plants for that?

Just to think! The wacko environmentalist banned motorcycles from this area just so they could have this giant bird broaster. It really preserved the unspoiled view, didn’t it?

I wonder what the pilots think about having to fly
over that, could be blinding at the right angle and
time of day.

Wait, maybe they are only allowed to fly over it at
night...

Remember...
Endangered birds and migratory fowl are just collateral damage. the Liberal agenda is all that matters.

Libs only give a damn about “Endangered” animals when they can line their pockets with cash by suing the government on behalf of the “Endangered”.

The caption on that next to last one should be...

“Yes Sir, your table is ready, sit where you like”.
