New Report on mercury emissions.
West Virginia is in the top 10 among states.
Amos is the largest source, but Fort Martin is dirtier in terms of pound mercury per MWh.
But the Beechurst Avenue Morgantown plant, although relatively small in total generation, has an emissions rate that is even higher. Not sure what is going on there.
