    The only problem will be the right wingers who complain.

    Here in Australia, many trainee pilots actually fly near a coal power plant as part of their first nav training. You can smell it LONG before you’re anywhere near it. I seriously don’t think people realise just how bad Coal is, and how far the pollution stretches for (if they did, they’d immediately change their mind and want to dump it)

      I used to live close to a coal power plant in Germany and there were never any smells, so now I wonder don’t they use filters in Australia?

        You don’t notice them on the ground. But, up in the air in a light aircraft, you can follow the smell long before you can see the power plant
