    What is the media’s obsession with cooling towers? Anything nuclear, cooling tower. Chemical company? Cooling tower.

        I think they look cool. They’re hyperbolic!

          I do too FWIW, but big brutalist concrete constructions definitely give dystopian vibes imo.

        How in the world is a zero emissions engineering marvel dystopian?! You know what the long terms effects of cooling towers are? If feels more humid down wind!

          Look dystopian, not are dystopian. They’re big grey concrete towers, now I personally dig the look, but it’s hard to get away from.

        Anything can be made to look dystopian with correct filters, angles and (for video format) ominous music

      They’re artificial volcanoes/geysers.

      Because they look like large outlets of coloured air.

      Coloured air coming out of an something is the default way of depicting air pollution.
      Even if it is just water vapour, it has a big enough shock factor.
