Why are the Northeast states targeting power plants and large industrial units?

Because these facilities are large emitters of NOx, the air pollutant most important in determining regional ozone levels. In addition, many plants have tall smokestacks which inject NOx and other pollutants directly into the upper atmosphere where they are more efficiently transported toward us by prevailing winds. Reductions from power plants are also comparatively inexpensive, so reducing NOx from such sources can be particularly cost-effective.

Recently, a multi-stakeholder, consensus-building effort called the Ozone Transport Assessment Group ("OTAG"), concluded that reducing NOx emissions by as much as 85% from power plants would be necessary to address the problem of ozone transport in the eastern U.S. Of the 37 states involved in OTAG, 32 agreed with this conclusion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
