Normal cooling (cooling towers or similar) requires a huge structure to dissipate 100MW. The cooling infrastructure can't fit in a truck. What you can to is transport the plant to somewhere where the environment can help with the cooling, such as where there is a good supply of cold water.

One can imagine these to be simple drop in replacements for existing coal plants with existing cooling infrastructure,which would be a huge environmental win in places where those are still built.
