Study: CPS Energy's J.K. Spruce coal plant among nation's worst polluters

CPS Energy's J.K. Spruce coal plant is among the nation's 50 worst-polluting industrial sites, having emitted 7 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022, according to a new study based on federal data. Together, those 50 facilities generated 471.8 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 — more than the total output of any state but Texas, according to the report, released Tuesday by environmental organizations Frontier Group, Environment America Research and Policy Center and U.S. PIRG Education Fund. By far, Texas was the state with the most greenhouse gas emissions, according to the analysis.
