That power plant is not a nuclear power plant, it's a coal fired one. Hence the smokestacks...

Yes, there are smokestacks, but that's quite obviously a nuclear cooling tower off to the left.

Coal fired power plants have cooling towers just like nuclear fired plants. The picture is obviously a coal powered plant because a nuclear plant would have no need for a smokestack as they are not burning anything.

Coal- and oil-fired power plants, which release small amounts of radioactivity contained in their fuels, are responsible for more airborne radioactive pollution in the United States than are nuclear power plants.

The first picture is supposed to represent pollution, but that is steam and not smoke.

But it's coming from a nuclear reactor, which, we all know, is evil.
The air we breathe
The American Lung Association's State of the Air 2010 report found that more than half the population of the U.S. lives with dangerous pollution levels. Despite progress in many places, the report found the air in some California cities was more polluted than before. Cities were ranked in three areas: year-round particle pollution, short-term particle pollution and ozone.
