I.M. Cooling Tower in Belgium
The I.M. Cooling Tower was a power station built in 1921 in Belgium. At the time, it was considered one of the largest coal burning plants in the country and was the main energy source for the town of Charleroi in 1977. The tower had the power to cool down 480,000 gallons of water a minute.
But as time went on, it was discovered that the tower had produced 10 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions in Belgium. And soon, Greenpeace started to protest which ultimate led to the plant being shut down in 2007. But the tower still remains.
