There is an AP photo in today’s Orange County Register showing “Carbon Dioxide from the coal-fired Pawnee Power Plant near Bush, Colo.” The picture has an immense cloud of white colored gas spewing from a plant ...
The problem is that ... carbon dioxide is colorless — meaning that it is invisible to the human eye.
99.9% water vapor (OMG!! Just realized - water vapor is a GREENHOUSE GAS!!!!)
I'm not sure if this is the same photo, but this is the Pawnee Station, and that immense cloud is 100% water vapor coming off the plant's cooling towers. The smaller plume coming from the short stack in the center would also be 100% water, in this case, reject steam.
The CO2 and other flue gases would only come out of the very tall stack, but you can't see any of it.
J-school grads are mostly idiots and easy prey for eco-hustlers.
