My guess is they only turn these on during the most polluted days. In many colder climates they have power plants of last resort that are basically old jet engines. They only fire them up when power demand hits peak of the peak levels.
- robszumski 10y agoI agree with your thought that these are part time, but for a different reason. I think they'll only be turned on when the temperature/env conditions are right to form the inversion. Fire the jet up for a day or two to prevent the smog from getting trapped under the inversion layer, then turn the jet off once the conditions subside. None of this 20mm a year business will end up happening.
