From the Galvin Institute, as quoted by Lynne Kiesling, power market analyst extraodinaire:
Power plants generate as much pollution as they do electricity
How does one do this unit conversion? This is one of those happy little statements everyone lets slide or nods their head at sagely that in fact turn out to be completely assinine.
Science has been taught out of school, replaced with ‘paper or plastic’. A better question is how do you make CO2 into a pollutant? Trees will hate you for that.
Power plants create as many smiles as they they pollution.
