Seriously this: smoke stacks are a carefully engineered structure specially to ensure air emissions diffuse and don't roll along the ground.

You absolutely cannot park a bunch of truck mounted generators next to an existing plant and go "yeah it won't make a difference".

Back then, Sudbury looked like Mars.
