This image of a nuclear power plant belching grey smoke into an equally grey sky indicates the needs and results of industrialization. Ever-more power is needed to run the machinery of industry and the pollution caused by these methods of creating power usually requires the generation of more power to control. High-speed travel by electric train is one result of the creations of these power plants. This image provides a bleak view of a dirty landscape devoid of foliage taken from the window of a high-speed train with the interior lights reflected in the glass.
