According to an Associated Press【C3】______of the data, 20 mostly coal-fired power plants in 15 states account for the top-releasing facilities.

Two other power plants owned by Southern were the second-and third-largest polluters nationally: the Bowen plant in Bowen, Ga. , and the James H. Miller, Jr. power plant in Quinton, Ala.
American Electric Power, another large coal-fired power producer, has three power plants in the top 20. They are in Rockport, Ind. , Cheshire, Ohio, and St. Albans, W. Va.
"This is just another way to【C8】______the largest coal-fired power plants in the country," said AEP spokesman Pat Hemlepp. "We always assumed we would be No. 1 in greenhouse gas emissions or No. 2 behind Southern Co. We and Southern are the two largest【C9】______of coal. "
The other states with【C10】______power plants are Texas, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wyoming, North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky.
Refineries were the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, with 57% of the reported total. The top states in greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and from refineries were Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, and Indiana.
