I live off Warner and Greenfield in Gilbert AZ. There is some sort of plant there that billows out smoke 24/7. I would like to know what type of plant it is and if it could be causing my family to ALWAYS be sick with the sniffles !!!!
Ive tried to research it online but have come up short. Can anyone tell me the whos and whats of this pollution monster ????

There's an SRP electrical generating station at the southeast corner of Val Vista and Warner, which is what I suspect you are talking about. I also suspect the "smoke" your seeing is acutally steam, which poses no health risk.
