CPS Energy’s J.K. Spruce coal power plant released 'seven million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022, making it the 42nd-worst climate polluter in the country,' according to a study published by the Frontier Group.
Do you know who this is? Bexar County Medical Examiner seeks tips in body found caseKSAT DEALSFILE - Emissions rise from the smokestacks at the Jeffrey Energy Center coal power plant as the suns sets Sept. 18, 2021, near Emmett, Kan. The Biden administration is setting tougher standards for deadly soot pollution, saying that reducing fine particle matter from tailpipes, smokestacks and other industrial sources could prevent thousands of premature deaths a year.
One of those Texas facilities, eighth on the list, is CPS Energy’s J.K. Spruce coal power plant, part of the station near Calaveras Lake in far southeast Bexar County. CPS Energy’s board of directors voted last year to shut down coal operations at Spruce by 2028. CPS Energy will retire one unit of the pant completely while converting the other to run on methane gas, the study’s authors said.
According to Environment Texas, the worst polluter in Texas is the Martin Lake Power Plant, which sits southeast of Longview in East Texas.
