But it depends on the amounts produced and the location of the station regarding its effects on people and the environment. I don't suggest you suck on an exhaust pipe or stand next to a grass-fire either. As for power stations... Quote:One factor in improving air quality has been the pollution-control technologies used by coal-fired power plants. Today’s coal-fired electricity generating plants produce more power, with less emission of criteria pollutants, than ever before. According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), a new pulverized coal plant (operating at lower, “subcritical” temperatures and pressures) reduces the emission of NOx by 86 percent, SO2 by 98 percent, and particulate matter (PM) by 99.8 percent, as compared with a similar plant having no pollution controls [xv]. Undoubtedly, air quality will continue to improve in the future because of improved technology.
Today, coal-fired electricity generation produces nearly half of the electricity generation in America and provides many jobs. For example, Prairie State Energy Campus, a 1,600-megawatt coal plant under construction in southern Illinois, provides 1,200 people with jobs in around-the-clock construction. Between its power plant, coal mine, and other assets, the campus will inject some $2.8 billion into the Illinois economy, creating 2,300 to 2,500 temporary construction jobs and 500 permanent positions, while emitting 80 percent less in pollutants than most existing power plants.[iv] When completed, the power plant will deliver electricity to 2.4 million homes in at least nine states. this is USA not Australia.... http://www.news.com.au/news/report-finds-us-china-and-the-eu-have-higher-standar...Haha Implying coal power plants only emit Water vapour then trying to turn it around with some crap about me posting pictures of a cooling tower.... Really Really? I never would have guessed.  I never implied your lie at all... You made a statement, I commented on it. Did I accuse you falsely of implying anything like you just did me? NO...

Little on said it was pollution Grendel wrote on May 18 th, 2018 at 9:54am: DonDeeHippy wrote on May 17 th, 2018 at 8:34pm: President Elect, The Mechanic wrote on May 17 th, 2018 at 8:00pm: Grendel wrote on May 17 th, 2018 at 3:19pm: Real World Data and not fudges... that seems a much better idea. Bingo! and no one would be talking about global warming, shutting down power stations and sending billions of dollars to an unelected world government... That would be true if co2 was the only emission from a power plant Yeah that water vapour that's bad stuff... reply 13 yes you only said water vapour  it was mechanic that's in denial, I was wrong.
