> so some aspects of the pollution can be controlled a little more ALL aspects of the pollution can be controlled in big power generation plants. For example coal power plants have advanced filter systems, which can reduce pollutants by more than 99% in some cases. http://i.imgur.com/dsNgDvn.png http://i.imgur.com/dsNgDvn.png http://web.archive.org/web/20150611212052/http://www.babcock.com/library/documents/br-1886.pdf http://web.archive.org/web/20150611212052/http://www.babcock... http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40789-014-0001-x http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40789-014-0001-x Moreover, in power plants, coal burns in a much more optimal conditions, what results in less pollutants being generated. > According to Environment Canada, coal-fired power plants in Alberta in 2011 emitted only 0.4% of PM2.5 of human-made emissions (excluding wildfires). https://friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/FoS_BurningQuestions_Health_Coal_Wildfires_Jan2015.pdf https://friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/FoS_BurningQue... The only thing which can't be controlled is CO2. But this is not a pollutant.
