Palo Verde doesn't contribute anything to air pollution. In fact, "power generation operations to date at Palo Verde have offset the emission of almost 484 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (the equivalent of taking up to 84 million cars off the road for one year); more than 253,000 tonnes of sulfur dioxide; and 618,000 tonnes of nitrogen oxide." FWIW, it's ownership also include SoCal utility companies.
