Ever get so mad about the havoc that power plants wreak on our climate and atmosphere that you want to just blow those fuckers up? If so, please turn yourself in to the FBI, because that is a little much, dude. However, if you like to just imagine such drastic measures, this video will help you give a face to your fantasy, by showing power plant cooling towers being demolished in delicious slow motion.

The video is a project of The Slow Mo Guys, celebrated YouTube exploders of stuff. The guys don’t explain much about what these cooling towers are for (they do say it’s a power station), or how they got permission to blow them up. Maybe they didn’t have permission. Maybe they really are acting out your weird, sociopathic activist fantasies.
