FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

constellation energy start doing activity for environment to better environment, also reduce smog, they "completed an $885 million installation that has vastly reduce emission from two giant coal- burning units of its Brandon Shores Plant"

other scientific and people's who hope for environment to get become better, also their " goal was to complet with Maryland Law"

people hope federal environment Protection Agency " would adopt similar limit," thtat was work well it is successed.

Constellation was agrue about business which use lot coat-fired plant, they are "laggard plants should also have to comply with the emission limits or shut down. they was angry that other company not doing anything to make environment to better.

More people notice ad get information about death from environment pollution. The nurse was research and find out "a Study that found that in 2006, emission from the plant caused 700 deaths per years nationwide, including 100 in Maryland."

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):


The company, Constellation Energy, try make new machine which would scrabbs the acid out from air, they was occur in Maryland. Their inventor was making new machine name belches steam, but they take long time like three years to complet it in factory to reduce smog. It take lot money out of company about $ 885 million to installation. Because Constellation Energy was hope that court would set new rule to limit smog, so they start do that also they get lot money for that.
