    predicting projected power generation requirements for a user specified future time period by using the historical data base and the real time data;

    calculating a baseline projected emission rate for each pollutant over the user specified future time period using the projected power generation requirements;

    displaying the baseline projected emission rate for each pollutant over the user specified future time period to a user;

    displaying a pollutant emission limit for each pollutant over the user specified future time period;

    displaying a list of pollution control options to the user;

    calculating a projected emission rate for each pollutant over the user specified future time period for a user selected pollution control option; and
