I am no expert on this, but my understanding is the huge coal fired electric generating plant is equipped with smokestack scrubbers so that little pollution is generated. I also understand that plant generates electricity for LA, southern Calif., & other western states surrounding it. The basic cause of excess pollution, global warming, etc is excess population growth. We should encourage all voluntary efforts such as birth control, abortion, gay marriage to limit population growth. I would hate to see the over population problem reach the point where the government has to step in like in China to limit growth. Unfortunately, some religious groups oppose this.
I think we, as diesel fans, in addition to helping our pocketbooks, are helping the environment by using & promoting less use of fossil fuels.
