Energy and Clean Air
One of the biggest things any of us can do to help with the power crisis, and
to help keep our air clean, is to conserve energy. See

California's energy crisis impacts our air quality. During
power alerts, emergency diesel-fired generators are used to supply
needed additional energy. These generators cause a great deal of air
pollution. See Do you really need a diesel
generator? Under emergency conditions, some power plants also operate extra hours without air pollution controls.
