Corrosion. Coal is one of the most corrosive substances I've ever dealt with. Isn't fast, just very thorough. Eats conduit, everything but the brick walls or concrete over time. Also some fire damage from explosions past. They wash down everything every day to keep down on explosions. I've seen this breaker house go twice, and the this plant go once. Sure is potent and corrosive stuff. Never ending maintenance. I'm sure you know how it is. As far as what comes out the stacks, much cleaner today, but anyone who lives by one can see what the acid does to the paint jobs on their cars and stuff over years - little pin holes.

I should get you a picture of the tire grinder-upper this plant has. That sure was a plan. Grind the fleets tires up and mix it in with coal, and save money. Sure didn't work so good. 1/2 hour of burn time of that hybrid mix resulted a lengthy outage to rebuild them burners. Ha Ha Ha Ha. I'm sure someone got fired over that one, or severely promoted.
