America’s Dirtiest Power Plants

Cleaning up power plants is one of the most important steps the U.S. can take to reduce the threat of global warming. In 2012, U.S. power plants produced more carbon pollution than the entire economies of Russia, India, Japan or any other nation besides China. In fact, the 50 dirties U.S power planst alone - representing less than 1 percent of U.S. power planst - produces as much pollution in 2012 as the nation of South Korea (the world's sevent leading emitter of greenhouse gases).
