The reality of the US coal power industry [2]
Did you know that a typical coal power plant in the United States will emit 3.7 million tons of carbon dioxide, 10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and 10,200 tons of nitrogen oxide this year?
I came across a great “top ten” list assembled by the Union of Concerned Scientists [7]that paints a very clear picture of the major pollutants still being emitted by the US coal power generation industry.
I’ve made it into a static reference page on DeSmogBlog, you can click here to go the page: Facts on the Pollution caused by the US Coal Industry. [8]
You can also download a PDF version of the fact sheet here: Facts on the Pollution caused by the US Coal Industry (PDF Version) [9]
