> In Texas, the TXU Corporation plans to spend $10 billion to build  
> 11 new dirty coal-fired power plants that will guarantee huge  
> amounts of global warming emissions for decades to come. The  
> company announced it is also considering major coal plant projects  
> in the Northeast and Midwest. According to a recent New York Times  
> article, opposition groups say "that TXU is embarking on its  
> immense construction campaign without taking account of its role in  
> an emerging environmental catastrophe." And the state of Texas is  
> already the number one carbon emitter in the country. It appears  
> that Governor Rick Perry is fast-tracking the permit process for  
> TXU so that the plants can be built before federal laws will  
> hopefully be put in place.

> A growing number of Texas mayors are opposing the TXU proposal  
> through the Texas Cities for Clean Air Coalition, including the  
> mayors of Houston, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, and over a dozen  
> other cities statewide from both political parties. Conservative  
> Republican Robert Cluck, the mayor of Arlington, is leading the  
> charge on global warming in Texas -- concerned for the  
> environmental impact but as a medical doctor also for the public  
> health impacts of dirty coal.
