It is very good of Enemalta to enlighten us with the comparison of the quality of air emissions between a 20th-century electricity plant and one designed for operation in the 21st century. (Advert on TMIS, 7 February, opposite page 38). One can hardly expect a different result.

Now can they please do the same exercise to compare the plant they accepted and the one they turned down. This time they can also throw in the price comparison.

Am I missing something here? On the one hand, Enemalta are informing us that heavy fuel oil is no longer used in Europe, and on the other I seem to have read somewhere that the plant they have chosen will initially run on heavy fuel oil. Perhaps I read it wrongly.
