These plants, which were originally slated to close in 2020, include the Ormond Beach Generating Station located in the predominantly Latinx, low-income community of Oxnard. Most notable of these polluting emissions are nitrogen oxides (NOx). It’s not just gas power plants that are inequitably sited.
