Forbes.com has an interactive map of the dirtiest coal power plants. Click on the graphic below and you’ll be sent directly to the map. Writer Jon Bruner introduces the map:
“Sixty percent of the world’s electricity comes from plants burning fossil fuels and releasing carbon. Many of the highest-emission plants are concentrated in the United States and East Asia. Here, a look at the world’s 200 biggest carbon offenders among power plants. Roll over any plant for more information.”
Taichung power plant
The “worst of the worst” is Taiwan’s Taichung power plant, emitting 40 million tons of carbon annually.
That’s a lot of carbon, a lot of CO2 pumped up into earth’s atmosphere forcing climate change.
America doesn’t have anything of this magnitude, do we?
Not exactly. The dirtiest power plant in the United States is the Robert Scherer power plant near Juliette, Georgia.
