Accuracy of NOx figure
I know the 35% reduction in NOx is thrown around all over the place (blogs, short news updates on Boardman), but I cannot seem to verify it. On the contrary, I think I have convincing evidence that it is not true at all. The given reference doesn't point to anything in particular. Perhaps it was referring to this which actually refers the reader in text to verify the claim at. EPA Air Markets puts the Boardman NOx emissions at around 9000 tons for 2010. Now, looking at, (see page 12656) Oregon's emission are shown to be around 260,000 tons in 2007, and Boardman's contribution of 10,300 tons, a figure in approximate agreement with the EPA Air Market values for the last couple of years. Unless there was a tenfold decrease in statewide NOx production in the last 4 years (I estimate this to be unlikely because auto emission are unlikely to decrease by a significant amount and they make up a significant potion of the NOx emissions, other states have similar orders of magnitudes of NOx emissions), then Boardman only makes up about 4 % of the state's NOx emissions by a 2007 estimate. So, what's going on here? Happyheadbobber (talk) 08:55, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Interestingly, Boardman's CO2 emissions are 8.0% of Oregon's overall emissions in 2009 according to and, however, this figure is likely to jump to over 10% in 2010 once those statistics are released on the latter site given the substantial increase listed in Boardman's emissions.

Ok, until somebody is able to provide verification for the NOx statistic, I will remove it. Happyheadbobber (talk) 21:18, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
