While I think TXU is a bunch of crooks (soon to be names Oncor), there are some Mercs I'd like to control.

DALLAS -- TXU Corporation announced it will add systems designed to reduce emissions of mercury from its coal-fired power plants.
The company says it's the country's largest voluntary program to reduce mercury pollution emissions.
TXU is scheduled to ask state regulators on Wednesday to approve a new coal-fired plant that's opposed by many environmentalists.
TXU was joined in its announcement by private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Texas Pacific Group. The two are trying to close their $32 billion purchase of TXU.
Waco Mayor Virginia DuPuy says TXU is making a significant commitment to cleaner air ahead of new rules by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Waco is among the cities closest to the proposed location of two new coal-burning units at Oak Grove, which comes up for state review tomorrow.
While I think TXU is a bunch of crooks (soon to be names Oncor), there are some Mercs I'd like to control.
