(Before It's News)



Jan 13, 2012 – You have to be careful how you read the news.  The Sun-Sentinel published today an article stating that the new natural gas-fueled FPL plant in Palm Beach County is tops in the nation for emission of greenhouse gases.  But FPL calls the figures misleading, saying the plant is a clean, efficient natural-gas fired facility that ranks high on the EPA’s list simply because it is one of the largest power plants in the nation.  That is a good point.  Shouldn’t the figures show a ratio of the amount of pollution emitted per kw/h?  That makes sense.  It doesn’t make sense to compare emissions from a plant that is ten times larger than another.  The figures are part of the EPA’s first searchable database of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gases. It is searchable to the county level, and can be found at http://epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ghgdata/.
