If permitted the Las Brisas power plant will rank #1 in Nueces County in particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and global warming gasses. Corpus Christi is already very close to violating federal smog limits. If permitted this plant would add so much pollution that citizens could have to do costly smog checks on their car and businesses may have to add expensive pollution controls. In addition, it would add 216 lbs a year of toxic mercury to our already polluted bay making more kinds of fish unsafe to eat.
