Yes, industry takes advantage at night. The cooler air doesn't help.

Those things usually keep running full power all day and night. And therefore does not wait until the wee hours, but belches as much pollution any time of the day. What might be interesting to investigate is to see what industries will use the cheap electricity at night because of this set up (same applies to the nukes). Although, the arc furnaces should be not too polluting. Mmm...<br /><br />Also, you can go to the Longjin powerplant and have them explain stuff to you. Best you give them a call in advance although I just dropped in one day (was a while back).

Even yesterday I was being begged to show up and give a short speach. The last thing Mayor Lin wants is me on a stage in front of the worlds bicycle press reaming a second arsehole into him.
