Michael Bloomberg Targets Attorneys General with Ads on Carbon Emissions
- davidf18 11y agoMuch of the air pollution in the Northeastern and MidAtlantic states comes from coal powered power plants as far away as the Midwest (a few years ago there was a large judgement against American Electric Power [AEP]) because of pollution caused by their Midwestern plants). The air pollution causes not only more asthma attacks (26,000 hospitalizations in NYC each year) but also cause cardiovascular attacks in female elderly (PM 2.5). Controlling air pollution not only improves the quality of live and results in fewer deaths but saves large sums of health care costs.
