Talk:Homer City Generating Station

POV

I am reverting the changes made by Panem, to the last version by Boothy443. The article has a ways to go before it is NPOV. For one thing it ought to say something about the Plant's primary function (e.g. how much power it produces) as well as the pollution it causes. It is not relevant to refer to other power plants in the same county; I think this could be done via a category however. --Mathew5000 00:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Totaly agree, though the article will more then likely be reverted back to the previous version by Panem, who has a history of adding pov to articles. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:01, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

-- CO2 is NOT pollution, and it shouldn’t be labeled as such in this article. A pollutant is something you want to get rid of totally, and CO2 is certainly not something you would want to get rid of. It seams to me, that it is a moot point that a coal plant outputs CO2, because they all do. If it could be shown that this particular plant is grossly inefficient, and produces far more CO2 per watt then the average coal plant, then a point could be made. Of course any self-respecting business man would either shut down the plant or upgrade it to make it efficient otherwise it would not be a profitable venture. And saying it is number 28 or 33 in the nation for total CO2 emission is meaningless… all that tells us is that the plant is really big; for all we know it could be the most efficient coal plant in the world, it is just also making lots of power… and so it ranks high in total CO2 emission. -Alan

I think tangible information on C02 is very meaningful and should be included because it may help people come to a plethora of conclusions about our plant's performance. However, I do not think that conclusions should be drawn from the information, for example '...which is the largest contributer to global warming.' ::Kyle

History Section (vs Benamati family history)

There's really no "history" in the History section. It is really the pre-history of the parcel on which the generating station sits. A real history section would talk about how the plant came to be built, not that Giovani or Peter Benamati had a farm or raises turkeys, which is neither germaine to the power plant, nor even well-sourced.

Agreed. Rklawton (talk) 20:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Photos and Infobox

I took out the two photos because they were really messing up the flow of the article. Perhaps this needs an infobox? Is there a template that would work here? Maybe someone who knows more of the wikipedia formatting can do this for us...--Hepcat748 (talk) 01:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Pollution

Although the pollution is said to have been reported by the Pittsburgh Gazette, a citation really is needed.

Secondly, they use the word "recently" rather than writing some sort of annual rate. Clearly this should be fixed. Kit Cloudkicker (talk) 15:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
