It is indeed far better than in the old days, but I suspect there's still a lot of harmful and obnoxious gases still in that exhaust.
For example, car exhaust is usually invisible, but you do not want to breathe that.
Coal plants in the US are usually located far from city centers. In my RV trip, out in the remote countryside, I often ran across rail cars loaded full of coal heading off to who-knows-where. We simply do not see smokestacks anywhere close to towns anymore in the US. It is alarming to see them close to town in some countries.
