Daily News | Philly-area power plant is on group’s list of ‘dirty dozen’ Pa. greenhouse gas polluters
Federal data analyzed by PennEnvironment, an environmental advocacy group, show that Pennsylvania’s top 12 greenhouse gas-emitting facilities consist mostly of power plants that burn fossil fuels. The largest concentration of polluters is in the southwestern part of the state — although one is in Bucks county.
Overall, there are 287 industrial facilities, power plants, mines and other large polluters required to report emissions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “The old adage, ‘cheaper by the dozen’ doesn’t apply to Pennsylvania’s 12 largest global warming polluters,” said Stephanie Wein of the PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center. “The Dirty Dozen’s climate-changing emissions are costly to Pennsylvanians and our planet.”
The Philadelphia and Southeast region has 37 industrial polluters that report greenhouse gas emissions to the EPA.
