Dirty Kilowatts: America’s Most Polluting Power Plants (PDF; 1.88 MB)
Source: Environmental Integrity Project
From press release: “Even as some of America’s dirtiest power plants start to clean up their act, scores of large, old, and inefficient electricity-generating facilities that fail to use available technology continue to pollute the nation’s air, according to a report from the nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project (EIP.) For example, just 4 percent of the nation’s nearly 1,200 fossil-fuel-burning power plants account for 45 percent of their sulfur dioxide emissions. A fully searchable database of the EIP report is available online at http://www.dirtykilowatts.org.”
