- Nebraska has been attempting to phase out coal at its North Omaha power plant for 12 years, but a recent report presented to board members minimized the impact of coal on the area, sparking controversy.
For decades, it has been widely understood that dirty fuel sources such as coal create significant unhealthy air pollution that directly contributes to unnecessary deaths in America and worldwide. Because of that and environmental reasons, Nebraska has been trying to quit using coal at its North Omaha power plant for the last 12 years, in theory.
However, there have been significant delays, and now board members have been misled by a report minimizing the impact of coal on the area, Grist reported.
