Introduction:.
We are studing the haze in the Grand Canyon. We went to the Cholla
Power Plant to see if power plants are the reason for the haze. Then we
went to the Grand Canyon to look at the haze (above).
Recommendations:
We recommend that Arizona power plants should be moved to another state
so the pollution in the Grand Canyon will be low.
Positive Consequences:
A positive consequence is if we move Arizona power plants to a state
out of Arizona the haze will be at a lower rate than it is now.
Another positive would be if we could get power plants to use more
scrubbers in their smoke stacks, then they won't be causing too much haze in the
Grand Canyon.
Negative Consequences :
A negative consequence is that the pollution
might change direction with the wind, if the wind comes north to south and
west to east.
Another consequence is that the power plants that produce
the electricity might take too long to get here. |
