Factories make clouds

I used to believe that the oil refineries near my house were really "cloud making factories." This seemed reasonable, I lived in Los Angeles near the ocean, the smoke-stacks were near the ocean, clouds are white, smoke is white...

I believed that the chimney of a nuclear reactor is a factory for clouds.

It's actually my sister's belief. Until recently (she's 20) she thought that all chimneys and smokestacks were cloud makers. She's silly.

When my children were little there was a asphalt plant in the town we lived in and it had a smoke stack. And I told them it was a cloud machine and for years they believed it and told others untill they were about 12 years old.

When I asked my mother where clouds came from, she said "factories" and I believed this for way too long - almost into my teens!

When I was small my Dad told me that Power Stations were cloud making factories. I really believed him and got into a big argument with my teacher over it, ending up with 100 lines stating " I must not call my teacher stupid!"

I have always lived very near to a power station, and I used to believe it was a cloud making machine.

I used to believe that cooling towers were really just cloud making machines

When I was little I lived close to a nuclear power plant which had these enormous cooling towers. One day we drove past it and there was all this white smoke coming out of the huge chimneys. My mum told me it was where they made clouds and I believed it until I was like, ten or something!

I have a paper mill in my town that is constantly emitting clouds of smoke. I told my little brother that it was a Cloud Factory and that they had giants in there who ate baked beans and farted out the clouds in the sky.

I grew up in a mining town that had huge smokestacks at the smelter that were visible for miles around. I used to believe that these smokestacks were what made clouds.

I used to believe that clouds came from the smoke that came from the factories.

At the age of 4 , I thought , as we drove by the industrial section of town (e.g. potatoe chip factory), in the midst of winter billows of beautiful white steam flowed out of many pipes creating cloud like billows. Consequently , I thought these were cloud factories.

i used to believe that clouds were made from the thick smoke that came out of power plant towers.

Rick Shaw

At a mere three years of age, I knew all about how clouds are made. There are several factories near my hometown that have giant smoke stacks, which billow with smoke pretty much all day long. That, of course, is where clouds come from. The "clouds" come out of the pipes of the "cloud factory" and float away into the sky. :)

My mate Chris believed that the big water cooling chimneys at power stations used to be 'cloud makers'. OK for an 8 year old, but he was 18 when he told me.

I used to believe that this power plant near my home was actually a Cloud Factory and the steam coming from it were the freshly produced clouds. I thought if the clouds were nice and thick they'd serve for the angels as a vessel to float around the sky and I was always glad to see such a cloud leave.

All clouds came from smokestacks.
