This is sad

This is depressing and violent. Stop cooling tower abuse.

0:27 They saluted their nation before they fell, accepting their fate calmly and professionally. Those towers are what men should aspire to be like, real men.

Thank you for tripling my energy bill.

Intended message: tear down power plants Received message: save the power plants

Nuclear electricity has nothing to do with carbon emissions tho

Nuclear power is literally the best green energy the world has to offer.

My reaction to this video: Nuclear energy, I salute thee. You have served us well. ... And will continue to do so :)

This more gives you the feeling "Each day, hundreds of innocent Cooling Towers are brutally murdered."

I love how this ad campaign completely backfired by making people feel sorry for cooling towers. 😂

The end here where 4 cooling towers are downed really sums it up. ~4000 MW of power generation (assuming nuclear) are replaced by ~3 MW of power generation. So you need like 1000 wind turbines to replace what's being removed.

This video is 10 yrs old, which means it took humans to actually become intelligent and finally realised that nuclear energy is more eco-friendly than windmills 😂

0:29 went down like a soldier. Mad respect.

While the cooling towers had faces, the turbines are soulless and faceless.

Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, and most efficient form of energy. We shouldn't be tearing down our nuclear powerplants, we should be building more.

The music is an aria from the opera The Marriages of Figaro by Mozart, for anyone wondering.

The most ironic thing about this is that nuclear is starting to make a bit of a comeback now that more people start to realize that it actually has very little pollution.

I love how one of the four cooling towers in one clip was like. "It was a pleasure serving with you all."

I laughed so hard when I heard Germany is firing up coal generators to fill the gap in energy needs after shutting down nuclear power stations and forced to ban Russian gas. 😂😂😂😂

I grew up in the Megawatt valley , along the River Trent.. the huge sound made from the Staythope power station cooling towers, releasing the water back into the trent , was incredible..

You successfully convinced me to never support the demolition of power plants. Poor cooling towers ;_;

#CoolingTowerLivesMatter

This put tears in my eyes.

8 Years later.... and I'm still more worried about the Cooling Towers.... yet I find his whimsically hilarious.

I love how this ad was made to be very anti-nuclear energy, but all it's done is convinced the commenters to never get rid of nuclear towers Edit: Yes, I get it, they're coal not nuclear towers. Doesn't change the point of my comment at all.

This looks like something Amazing world of Gumball would do! 😂

The towers are so cute, and I feel sorry for the power plants. POOR cooling towers, but it is funny and I like this video too!

I was once staunchly against nuclear power but I'm coming to the conclusion that it's the way to go. This ad actually is re-enforcing my new view.

Remember kids: green energy still isn’t enough of a thing because these idiots want to destroy the greenest of power plants.

I don't think this video helps your cause.

This is what happens when villains try to act like the good guys without understanding that they are the villains. They get everything backwards and end up looking like the bad guys lol

I never felt so sad for a nuclear power plant before.

This just makes them seem more sympathetic when you put cute faces on them and have them look terrified as they crumble. The faceless turbines popping up in their place makes weirdly ominous. What's a odd advertisment.

why did this make me so sad

I started watching KZfaq 13 years ago and this is one of the 1st ones I've ever seen

This was 10 years ago and it is better editing than I could ten years ago bruh

Almost cry at 0:33, one of them wakes up only to see his partner dies before he faces the same destiny. Also is sad that one of them will never know what happened.

"Don't use a nuclear plant the size of a couple city blocks! Instead; let's clear-cut several hectares of forest to build wind farms that still won't generate the same amount of electricity... All to save the environment."

And now with the energy crisis this puts across a real message, we need reactors.

I remember watching this when I was younger.

That isn't smoke, that's steam, steam from the steamed clams we're having. mmm steamed clams

Is the person who made this a ruthless killer? The towers are so cute.

Nuclear energy is the cleanest and best for the environment

isn't nuclear energy both more green, and more land conservative than Wind turbines?

They definitely hired the World of Gumball's team to make this.

#TowerLivesMatter Edit: Oh jeez thanks for the likes

I saw this alot as a kid watching this in 2024🔥🔥

"it's time to move on" dude, fusion and fission energy are the most reliable and energy abundant sources of power you can get

“don’t be racist, we are both cooling towers!”

Top 10 saddest anime deaths.

i used to watch this alot when i was younger! brings back old memories 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

0:27 press "F" to pay respect for the cooling towers as they had to sacrifice themselves for clean energy

It's like watching someone slowly dies in front of you, but you can't do anything about it.

cooling tower lives matter

I hate it when i start collapsing and my mustache begins to vibrate violently

I died on the salutes 🤣

Cooling towers don't create pollution. The only reason they are being demolished is because I tried to take a shower in one!

If anything this makes me feel bad for the power plants

The first clip is the Athlone Power Plant which is a coal plant in Cape Town, South Africa. The "Two ladies of Athlone" were demolished on 22 August, 2010.

That salute got me 😆

0:27 He saluted the motherland

Could’ve at least given those wind turbines anthropomorphisms like arms, eyes and mouth. You’re practically saying “they’re replacing our friend-shaped buildings with lifeless husks.” WTH?

“Wanna watch some tv honey?” “No, we can’t…..the wind isn’t blowing.” “Oh, well do you want some popcorn?” “You know we can’t do that, it’s cloudy outside.”

Amazing clip!! 👏

0:32 at least he went in his sleep.

fun fact, according to statistics, nuclear power is the second most eco-friendly form to produce power, first one is wind power but in fact, nuclear power kills fewer animals than wind power.

the dislikes are from the cooling towers that collapsed

One of the greatest ads of all times.

>Replaces nuclear plant with 3 windmills >The area experiences a major power shortage.

Nuclear power is one of the most efficient, clean, renewable energy sources in the world. Combined with hydroelectric, wind, and solar, those 4 sources could power the world. Completely due away with fuel combusting plants of all types. And developments even over the past decade have made them WAY safer. We should be pushing campaigns to build more nuclear power plants or upgrade existing ones. Due away with coal fired plants.

this video is like, the back of your mind when you remember something from years ago and search it up not remembering anything yet remembering all of it

0:26 These two chimneys died with dignity.

The sad thing is that they're so misguided.

I love how they did their job so well in this campaign that it actually makes you hate the wind turbines at the end. An entire video of peaceful, cute-faced towers, living their lives, getting brutally killed, as you watch them horrified knowing they are going to die, some desperately trying to save their friends. Then, after all of this violence, fear, tears, the turbines come out, victorious, emerging from the bodies of the dead, growing, dependent on destruction of someone else for their life, like scavengers, cold, clean, faceless, emotionless, in contrast to the towers we previously saw, cheerful, happy, drinking tea, having friends, showing compassion to their companions. It legit made me want to tear these god damn windmills down and I was genuinely angry when I saw them popping up. This ad is so completely failed, delivers a message so radically opposed to what it should be that it actually made me think it was some anti wind turbines campaign or something like that. Truly, a bunch of incompetent idiots, the only message that I got from this ad is that, no matter what subject they try to touch, the ecologists systematically turn out to be incredibly incompetent and counter productive. And I personally believe it matches their beliefs pretty well (like tearing down nuclear plants despite being the cheapest and one of the least polluting ways to produce mass amounts of energy without emitting carbon dioxyde, which could be a great asset we could use while perfecting or finding long term solutions).

dude, i remember watching this video when i was younger. So nostalgic

I remember watching this video when i was like 4 yrs old - so nostalgic!

This is nine yeas old and feels like a modern shitpost.

As someone who loves the mission of making the entire world renewable, Nuclear is one damned efficient non-renewable that is foolish to get rid of. More nuclear reactors should be something environmentalists reason with over coal.

0:25 Aww man the last 2 towers even do a salut. Lol

This is more emotional than entire Twilight movie series.

Rip to our cooling tower friends. We will never forget you 😢

0:13 They just wanted to enjoy their tea!

History repeats itself

Cool, but nuclear energy is the most green type of energy after solar pannels and wind turbines, but they can produce three times the energy produced by wind turbines, in less time(very less). Like ten minutes can power up an entire city. We should just wait for cold fusion, even less dangerous and less polluting than hot fusion

Thanks for this totally accurate and not at all misleading representation of nuclear power

0:22 brave comrades saluting each other for the last time. P.S: Shit's sad tho 🥺

Satisfying!

………very cleverly done, & funny!

Bro from now onwards I'm gonna be emotionally attached to every solid structure!

Funny advert, but the message they are promoting is totally wrong. Nuclear energy is green! Also, to be accurate the video should really show several thousand wind turbines for each nuclear plant...

This makes collapsing cooling towers more tragic.

That animated so cute!. Too adorable 😍👍👍👍👍👍

This is one of the reasons why we have such high energy bills now. And in the future, we will look at the wind turbines with their used blades that lie stacked in at the land fill site and see that they were not so environmentally friendly either. Nuclear power is the way forward and more research into nuclear fussion.

0:31 Tower 2: *dies peacefully*

everyone's commenting about feeling bad for the towers while i'm imagining the deafing screams the people near the towers must listen to

It's, beautiful 😭😭

WHY DO THESE VIDEOS KEEP GETTING RECOMMEND TO ME IN 2017

>>implying nuclear isn't more practical than any other energy source

I watched it 5 Years ago i cried because of music and the towers;( i felled the pain
