- Fine particle pollution from U.S. power plants cuts short the lives of nearly 24,000 people each year, including 2800 from lung cancer.
- The average number of life-years lost by individuals dying prematurely from exposure to particulate matter is 14 years.
- Hundreds of thousands of Americans suffer each year from asthma attacks, cardiac problems, and respiratory problems associated with fine particles from power plants. These illnesses result in tens of thousands of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and lost work days each year.
- Power plant pollution is responsible for 38,200 non-fatal heart attacks per year.
- The elderly, children, and those with respiratory disease are most severely affected by fine particle pollution from power plants.
- People who live in metropolitan areas near coal-fired plants feel their impacts most acutely . their attributable death rates are much higher than areas with few or no coal-fired plants.
- The vast majority (at least 90 percent or 22,000) of the deaths due to fine particle pollution could be avoided by capping power plant sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide pollution at levels consistent with the installation of today's best available emissions controls.
- Compared with the requirements of current law, the Bush Administration's so-called "Clear Skies" proposal would result in 4,000 additional preventable premature deaths each year while repealing the very safeguards that could save those additional lives.

| 2:23 pm | Dirty Power = Dirty Air = Death & Health Damage ` BOOK DIRTY AIR, DIRTY POWER MORTALITY AND HEALTH DAMAGE DUE TO AIR POLLUTION FROM POWER PLANTS
 ` Recommendations For more than thirty years, the oldest, dirtiest coal-burning power plants have circumvented air emissions standards required of modern power plants.As a result, these "grandfathered" power plants are permitted to emit more than 10 times more nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide than modern coal plants. The Bush administration's administrative rollbacks of New Source Review and the statutory rollbacks embodied in its proposed legislation would continue this lethal legacy. Polluting coal-fired plants must be made to comply with modern emission control standards. In addition, the nation's power fleet should be held to stringent caps on all four key power plant pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, mercury, and carbon dioxide. Requirements such as these can ensure that U.S. energy policy better accounts for the public health and environmental costs associated with electricity production and will propel us toward a more sustainable energy future. ~ Per the Sustainable Industries Journal, the Pentagon has blocked the construction of 16 Wind Energy sites in the USA. The military claims the Wind Farms are a threat to national security. Maybe the Wind Farms are a threat to Big Oil and Big Coal?
