solar plant and pollution

Hi, I play MGE at King level. I noticed (my hubby also) that when we add a solar plant to a city, pollution appears where there was none before. I thought the point of Solar Plant was productivity WITHOUT pollution. Is it a bug in the program that it adds the shields and then calculates the pollution without making an exception for the "solar" aspect?

Did you also build a Mass Transit? Otherwise your citizens will pollute the town by driving their cars.

Pollution can also be generated by overlapping cities and, of course, by nuclear explosions.

I have had cities that produced so many shields that even with mass transit, reclycling center, and solar plant I still had pollution indicators on the city screen. but it helps a lot.

and yes there is a ditinct difference between population pollution and industrial pollution. I'd have to run some tests to verify this but if you have a size 50 city on say all unshielded grassland (not possible I suppose) with no improvements in the moderan age you should have pollution. And even a size 1 city with 50 production (this would require a cheat in the rules.txt) will have pollution.
