Stop the Coal Plants in Texas
19 proposed additional coal-burning power plants would annually emit into our air:
- 124.5 million tons of CO 2–contributes to global warming
- 73,157 tons of SO 2-causes acid rain and breathing impairments
- 33,521 tons of nitrous oxides (NO X)-forms smog, or ozone
- 22,116 tons of particulate pollution (PM)-breathing impairment
- 4,415 pound of toxic mercury-contaminates fish and leads to permanent brain damage in exposed children
There are many rivers in East Texas that you cannot eat the fish which you catch there.
You cannot eat the Striped Bass in Canyon Lake due to dangerous levels of mercury.
We have enough solar energy hitting Texas, to light up the entire USA. We have wind power, geothermal power, rainwater recycling, underground houses, neighborhoods "off the grids". Do not let them scare you into approving these plants.
This is so OLD SCHOOL.
