No, the truly ironic thing is that many locals think that this is a nuclear powerplant! (source: I used to hang out in Avalon Park; I miss playing Warhammer at Paladin).
I think it is because during the 3 mile island incident, so many pictures of the cooling towers were shown on the news, that large cooling towers are associated with nuclear plants in the public mind. The flat terrain makes the tall cooling towers the most prominent feature for miles around, so people notice them much more than the smokestacks right next to them.
