Physics

Here is a web site that talks about how much carbon dioxide iscreated when a ton of coal is burned.(http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_carbon_dioxide_does_a_ton_of_coal_produce)(9) Look at that site, presume that the Mt. Tom power plant burnedbituminous coal (as opposed to some other kind), and compute howmany pounds of carbon dioxide per year were introduced into theatmosphere by the Mt. Tom coal-fired power plant. Wind farms thatreplace coal-fired power plants help reduce greenhouse gasses(carbon dioxide). Just as a comment: a maple or birch tree that is25 years old will absorb about 3 pounds of carbon dioxide from theatmosphere per year, but this depends on the type of tree. A 25year old white or red pine will absorb about 14 pounds per year.Deforestation in various places eliminates the natural ability ofsuch trees to clean the atmosphere.
