Why do they show nuclear cooling towers as “pollution” in a thumbnail? That is only water vapor. Pollution is a serious issue and all, but if they are that dumb about where actual emissions come from in imagery, what does that mean for the article?

Coal power plants also have wide chimneys.

Many forms of powerplants use these types of cooling towers. The real reason usually is, that they make really impressive plumes though. Just makes for a good visual even though it’s not technically a relevant image.
