Summary: In order to clean the air, a landfill needs to be created. Smokestack scrubbers will eliminate most
sulfur emissions produced from coal by the Kingston Fossil Plant, but there is no way for total elimination. Sulfur dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels, and it contributes to the harsh pollutants such as acid rain.

Response: It is better to clean the air, even though making a landfill is required. We all breathe the air, it needs
to be clean. I hate seeing the gross black smoke coming out of the smokestacks downtown, and hopefully soon Detroit will scrub their smokestacks to emiminate some of the sulfur emissions.
