A message from citizen media in Kansas City: "All this rain sure made the air clean but I couldn't help but notice the coal burning power plant in the Northeast so I snapped some video of it! What was remarkable is the smog drifted to what appeared to be directly over City Hall on 12th and Oak? I hope clean coal is around the corner!"
Check their remarkable video!!!
More in a bit . . .
That's not smoke. It's 90 something percent water vapor.
ReplyDeleteWhats the black color from the other 10 percent
ReplyDeleteLead, Mercury, Ionizing Radiation, Yellow Rain
ReplyDelete400,000 cubic tons would mean 40,000 cubic tons of atmospheric lead, mercury, uranium
ReplyDeleteMercury
ReplyDeletePublic health still injects it into our kids and claims that's okay.
So can it really be bad in the air?
You ignorant sons-a -bitches have no idea what you are looking at. Besides, if it wasn't for a power plant like that you would not have the electricity to power the very device that you are reading this from. IDIOTS! If you want the convenience YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE, whether it is in money or pollution! If you are so bright, WHY DON'T YOU INVENT A POLLUTION FREE SOURCE OF ENERGY!
ReplyDelete@WHY DON'T YOU INVENT A POLLUTION FREE SOURCE OF ENERGY!
ReplyDeleteum... well, perhaps you meant 'invent a NEW pollution free source' as there are already a couple of them invented. unfortunately, as you likely know, none of them are anywhere near sufficient to meet the ever growing demand for electricity.
no coal-fired power plant, including Hawthorne, can emit 100% clean vapor, even with precipitators, baghouses, scrubbers, etc. But I can't say for sure that 10% of that are pollutants either. I doubt it is that high.
and then there are the sludge ponds, but those are probably better than nuclear waste.
but for a real pollutant thrill, try living near a cement plant.
There's a problem with wind energy in Missouri. This requires new infrastructure to move the energy because Missouri is using power lines designed in the turn of the 19th Century so it's a tax issue. The country is in a position that it's time to tax capital gains at 8
ReplyDelete90 percent like they did when Harry Truman was President
