When people look at this image they think of air polluting "Smoke Stacks"... True, while stacks are used to divert pollutants and harmful emissions high above the atmosphere, stacks today are fairly clean with near zero emissions. With low nox combustion turbines, emissions are reduced to below 9ppm of Nox and Co. Certain power plants also have catalysts installed which will further reduce emissions to near Zero. The stacks seen here have near zero missions aided by Dry Low Nox combustion turbines and CO and Nox catalysts. During days when white smoke can be seen billowing out of the stacks, it is actually water vapors created once the residual turbine exhaust of 250+ deg F is introduced to cold ambient temperatures. It might look as though the white smoke is polluting the enviorment but I can assure you it is really extremely low in emissions.
