US has way more Coal Fired Electrical Power plants.

I live 6mi from one, as the crow flies. Owned by TECO (Tampa Electric Company)

The Big Bend power station has a cool Manatee Viewing Center, it uses water from Tampa Bay to cool the generators and the warmer water from the exchange, the manatees have figured it out.

Its free to visit and worth it if you are in the Tampa area.

My comment had to do with coal-fired pizza ovens. I think you meant your response for someone else.

As it turns out, my family DID go to the Manatee Viewing Center. Unfortunately, it was a foggy, misty Monday in February (day after the Eagles Super Bowl) and we could barely see the Manatees. Good experience nonetheless.
