A long plume of smoke from a chimney stack at West Burton coal-fired power station illustrates how emissions from burning fossil fuels can travel long - sometimes international - distances.The plume is mostly not steam from the cooling towers (barely visible) but pollution from the power station's boilers: oxides of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, etc. - i.e. greenhouse gases, also associated with acid rain deposition. The power station, which started generating electricity in 1966, closed in March 2023. (Photo taken in 2003.)
