"America’s climate change pollution comes from many sources: cars and trucks, power plants, farming operations, home-heating systems and even trees that burn in wildfires.
But in the power sector, 85% of emissions come from just 100 companies and public agencies.
That’s according to a new report from M.J. Bradley & Associates, written on behalf of several businesses and environmental nonprofits. The report shines a light on the country’s 100 largest electricity producers, adding up how much carbon dioxide and other pollutants were generated by each entity’s fleet of power plants in 2017."
