Harrison coal-fired Power Station

Aerial view of the Harrison coal-fired power plant in Haywood, West Virginia. The plume of yellow-brown pollutants being emitted is visible. Coal from underground mining is still number one but is competing with natural gas and oil from hydraulic fracturing, aka fracking, as a primary source of energy in the USA. The Harrison power plant was built in 1974 and has one of the world's tallest chimneys at 305 meters.
