Makes sense. But aren’t power plants also a major/top producer of NO2, and more energy is used in heavily A/C used locals. https://airquality.gsfc.nasa.gov/p

- z2h-a6n 3y agoIt looks like power plants are also a significant source of nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere, though I don't know what the major/top sources are. From the US EPA [1]: NO2 primarily gets in the air from the burning of fuel. NO2 forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses, power plants, and off-road equipment. As I say, I'm no expert, bu my understanding is that NOx compounds can be formed whenever nitrogen and oxygen are mixed at sufficiently high temperatures, e.g. when burning stuff in air.
