Even though those may be water cooling towers, Brayton Point burns coal and fossil fuel to spin its turbines. Machines crush the coal into powder. Giant furnaces burn the coal dust that heats the water to make steam, that turns the turbines that generate electricity. Brayton Point is very close to Bristol. It emits huge quantities of toxins into the air , I mean thousands of tons per year. Mercury is one of these toxins. Think about it. But you know that we live near the water, we eat the fish and shellfish, we breath the air, we drink the water. Look up the effects of mercury on the EPA website. Coal is the dirtiest fuel for generating power. It causes heart, lung, immune system, brain, and all kinds of things that probably lead to all our untimely deaths. Birth defects, cancer, diseases of the nervous system, or heart disease. Try not paying your bill though and see what happens. They seem to have an attitude that they only care about profits and not about anything else unless they are forced.
