Los Angeles, CA - March 17: Looking toward the smoke stack at the rear of Unit 4, from inside Unit 5, at the Scattergood Generating Station in Los Angeles, CA, Thursday, March 17, 2022. Units 4 and 5 (completed in 2015) are a "combined cycle" system, with Unit 4 combusting natural gas to generate electricity and Unit 5 using the waste heat from that combustion to create steam and generate additional electricity. The gas-fired power plant is operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and is one of the city's largest power sources. The DWP hopes to transition from burning natural gas to burning green hydrogen at Scattergood. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)
