Is there no end to the sleight of hand being played in Texas?
Great .... Play them in China, that's where all the action is... Oh, I forgot , you'll get shot. Never mind.
I agree, no more coal plants, build nuclear. I you really want to reduce CO2, nuclear is the only way. If you have an agenda, then my guess is they will protest everything, just because.
Are they going after Bejing also?
China is responsible for the huge growth in greenhouse gasses, mostly from coal fired plants.
Big government tiptoes past taxpayers again ping!
Note: Think I'll make this an 'official' ping list. It appears it could become high volume. Just p.m. me if you want off, thanks.
More words of wisdon from the pro oil import environmentalist movement. /sarcasm
Remember, conservative/Christians, the socialists didn't perish after 9/11--they just had to shut up for a few years to regroup!
Simple, build 15 new nuclear plants instead.
We've got plenty of coal here in the US so let's not use that. Instead let's continue to buy oil from people in the middle east who hate and would love to kill us all !!!

They should ...in China!
That's where the real polluters are!
Power plants are usually of little news interest.

Not to mention taxes, jobs, supplies etc. The Environmentalists need to stop, research and study such plants before they scream the sky is falling....also look at their pension plans to see how this could and perhaps is benefiting them.

(We have coal plants here in NH. They use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen-oxide (NOx) emissions.)
With all due respect, individual ignorance on a topic is not indicative of a gov't conspiracy.
A Google News search of "Texas" "TXU" "coal" and "plants" produces 585 articles in just the past month. These plants and the approval process have been in the news for more than a year. A Google search of those 4 terms produces 170,000 results. Narrow it down by adding the terms "Perry" still produces 40,000 results.
I dunno, maybe some simple research might be wise before slandering with charges of "conspiracy, coverup, corruption?"
I'm not a fan of TXU, and believe that they should be investigated for price fixing, but these plants are needed and are a good thing. They will produce 50% more needed energy (Texas is growing by more than 500,000 a year, a new Austin and San Antonio area every 7 years) while producing 20% LESS total harmful emmissions because the new plants will be cleaner, older plants will be shut down or have cleaner technology installed, and a switch to cleaner Wyoming coal (Powder River Basin) instead of Texas lignite. (Plenty of keywords there to do more research with.) And TXU isn't the only company proposing new coal plants in Texas.
The enviro/media-activists are saying that these coal plants should use the cleaner coal gasification technology, but what they don't mention is that what they propose is so new that there isn't yet an operating plant. In fact Texas has done a good job in competing for fed funds for the demonstration gasification project and is one of the favorites to win the project. Another is being proposed for Corpus Christi, but hasn't been built. You see, what these groups are doing is opposing whatever is being considered and throwing out a nice sounding but not yet obtainable alternative to mute criticism that all they do is oppose. Just like the Dems do with foreign policy to fight the label that they are weak on defense, they criticize Iraq and say that the real problem is Iran. But when we propose dealing with Iran, they say, no you can't do that, N. Korea is the real threat. Or when we propose something on N. Korea it is called the wrong approach, everyone knows that Iran is more of a concern.
Coal is cheap, the US has centuries of reserves, and the current proposed plants would result in more power with cleaner air than we currently have. These plants should be approved ASAP.
