In the late 70’s all coal fired generating plants were required by law to retrofit scrubbers on to their stacks to cut down on the emissions of SO2. Not long after we started to see a slight rise in global temps know as AGW. Now to correct a problem of their own making these dimwits want to spray SO2 back into the atmosphere. Why not just remove the scrubbers and refire the mothballed coal generating plants. Bingo you have solved three problems. You’ve stopped AGW, increased the supply of cheap electricity and put hundreds if not thousands of people back to work mining and shipping coal. Beats an unemployment check.
we had an old wood and coal burning furnace to heat the house on the family farm since the early 30s,, that sucker could get it going pretty good if fed well. nothing like shoveling coal.. or cutting and sawing wood up and hauling it.. over and over.. I miss it tho.. for all the muss.. that sucker would almost glow and singe yur brows if ya weren’t careful feeding the beast.
I have no idea how much stuff it spewed, the area survived, no one lives there, but it sure ain’t Chernobyl either.
an interstate freeway and interchange made sure of that.
oh vell . nothing to grouse about, progress happens, it’s all commercial stuff now,, and a shadow of itself. Time to go fire the fireplace, ponder what I can do to restore individual freedoms and not disturb the climate of the neighbors.
