i have been watching this thread stay alive
.. i have a major coal plant about 15 miles down wind , thing burns 20,000 tons of coal a day..
but the wind is not always blowing and the whole area is pervaded by fine *soot* . on my walls , in my airhandler filters . on the roofs ..
and this plant has a pretty high tech scrubber but 20K TONS a Day ..
Cumberland Power Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a lot of stuff gets out .. every day it runs..
for example 8.7 Million pounds of sulfuric acid in a year. [ thus all the acid rain die off east [down wind] ]
i think id just as soon have a well designed Nuke . that would normally emit nothing .
