Texas Mess

Texas is the leading state in the union when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for nearly 10 percent of the total, and producing more carbon pollution than most countries, including Canada and Britain. It's about to get worse. Energy utility TXU has plans to build 11 new coal-fired power plants in the state in the next five years -- each and every one of them a conventional pulverized coal plant. Even though TXU promises to install state of the art pollution control to limit smog-forming emissions, emissions of carbon dioxide would soar. Time magazine reports.
