I don't see how hiding your pollution is helpful, in fact it may do the opposite as it allows people to delude themselves into thinking they are living a 'green' life. I already see this sentiment a lot, of people believing living in a city makes them 'greener' because they can't see the pollution their daily life creates everywhere else to supply them.

You can clean the emissions, using carbon capture etc, much easier in a power plant, even a coal one.

moving pollution far away means people don't have to breath dirty air which leads to all the obvious health problems which cost society
