A whole HELL of a lot of carbon dioxide.
Agreed? It's happening though, isn't it? Who cared? The current President? The current Vice President?
No.
The countries that signed Kyoto Protocol were the first to step to the challenge of stopping and reversing the ravages of consumerism that would prove to destroy Earth's biotic benevolence.
Now.
I ask again.
What would a bunch of wealthy men from Texas want with so many coal fired power plants?
Longevity in providing GOOD service to the people of that state or a larger picture goal of not only profiteering the remainder of the Texas coal WHILE melting down an entire planet's ice cap in reaching for the oil that lie in abundance beneath it?
The people involved in this venture are highly immoral and desperate people with very short term goals of profit.
TXU to Curtail Coal Plants to Smooth Approval of Planned Buyout (click out)
By Edward Klump
Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- TXU Corp., the biggest power producer in Texas, will curtail plans for coal-fired generators to win support from environmentalists for a proposed $44 billion buyout by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific Group.
Dallas-based TXU has agreed to cancel eight of the 11 coal units it has planned and to support mandatory U.S. limits on power-plant pollution that contributes to global warming, said a statement from the Natural Resources Defense Council. The company will devote $400 million to cutting power demand in Texas, pleasing environmental groups that favor conservation.
``The new owners don't want to be your grandfather's power company,'' said David G. Hawkins, director of the environmental group's Climate Center. They will ``turn instead to cleaner sources of energy,'' he said yesterday in a phone interview.
