Are power stations bad or good?

In some ways, power stations can be really useful. They can give electricity to thousands and thousands of people. They are a tonne better than wind farms because they generate more electricity, are quite quiet and are way smaller so the can be hidden by other objects (e.g: trees...). The power stations don't actually pollute the air as much as we think they do, the only thing that comes out of the chimneys is clean steam, (this only means when the steam cools it will transform into rain (not too good for us though)). However, there is a slight downside to this. The only way the power stations can make steam is to use coal which is one of our fossil fuels-which are running out very quickly-so we can't really say that power stations are perfect.

Explain why powdered limestone is also used in the chimneys at power stations?

Powdered limestone is used in power station chimneys to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gases produced during combustion. When sulfur dioxide reacts with the limestone, it forms calcium sulfate which can be easily removed, reducing air pollution. This process, known as flue gas desulfurization, helps to comply with environmental regulations and minimize the emission of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere.
