This is a sweet victory after our bitter 10-month battle to stop TXU. It's also a landmark event in the effort to stop global warming.
The Buyout by County
According to the proposed TXU deal, eight planned coal-fired plants were scrapped in these counties:
1) Mitchell, 2) Fannin, 3) Titus, 4) McLennan, 5) Freestone, 6) Rusk
By stopping construction of the eight, we prevented 57 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
Three plants are still being proposed for these counties:
7) Milam, 8) Robertson
