If these technologies became cost competitive and achieved economies of scale, the market share of the traditional operating companies and Southern Power could be eroded, and the value of their respective electric generating facilities could be reduced".
Medical waste incinerators and coal-fired electric generating facilities were the most common dioxin-emitting facilities and accounted for the greatest number of facility-residence pairs.
The median distance between the original and corrected location ranged from 132 meters (coal-fired electric generating facilities) to 23 km (hazardous waste incinerators).
Facilities included secondary copper smelters, municipal solid waste incinerators, cement kilns burning hazardous waste, iron ore sintering plants, medical waste incinerators, coal-fired electric generating facilities, cement kilns burning non-hazardous waste, sewage sludge incinerators, hazardous waste incinerators, and industrial boilers.
The Electric Generation segment consists of solar and landfill gas electric generation facilities in Pennsylvania.
(These figures do not include withdrawals from freshwater sources for such purposes as crop irrigation or cooling operations at electric power-generating facilities).
The entire electric generating and distribution system used alternating current from machines built by Westinghouse.
What is more, half of California's electric generating plants are powered by natural gas.
That would mean a loss of about 50% of the electric generating capacity in the US.
