Panel Urges Cleanup For Dirty Plants

In this mention

Florida's advisory panel recommends that the state's oldest and most pollution-prone power plants be cleaned up or shut down as part of any electrical deregulation plan. A study conducted for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy found that power plant emissions contribute to over 1,500 premature deaths annually in Florida, with about a third occurring in the Tampa Bay area. The proposal faces opposition from power producers citing costs and claims of good current air quality.
