Reply #2: Tried and true techniques of the GOP [View All]

[JohnWxy]

Another Environ employee in Mr. Morris' office, Gregory Yarwood, is analyzing the impact of TXU's entire plan, which involves the 11 new coal-burning units as well as a 70 percent emissions reduction from the company's existing coal plants. TXU says that plan would yield an overall emissions drop of 20 percent.

The client for that study is the nonprofit Houston Advanced Research Center, a mostly state-funded study group. Preliminary results, presented at a state Senate hearing in Dallas last month, indicated that TXU's overall 20 percent emissions cut would yield a slight benefit to the Dallas-Fort Worth area's air quality.

The data that led Environ to that conclusion, however, isn't available to the public. TXU gave Environ figures on its possible emissions cuts at existing plants, but TXU has refused to release the figures to anyone else.

Mr. Smith, of Public Citizen, said the state should reject any conclusions based on what he called TXU's "secret air pollution reduction plan."

Sound like Cheney's secret Energy Task Force?

GOP - Government Of the Party for the Party, the ONLY Party. Ah, the marvelous efficiency of totalitarianism. No real debate. Not slowed down by pescy citizens asking questions of their superiors.

Of course, since telling the emperor he has no clothes on is declared (by the state) to be unpatriotic (New York Times reporters should be jailed as traitors), or supporting the enemy you get the Katrina-FEMA disaster, the Iraq search for WMD instead of pursuing a war on terrorism (and NOT getting Osama), no preparation for the coming oil supply disruption,,,,, NOrth Korea acting up, Iran acting up leading to Hezbollah madness in Lebanon .... gosh it just gets better and better.


A few more years of GOP 'leadership' and the world is going to look like New ORleans with the GOP pointing fingers at everybody but themselves. "Well, Rummy, I'd say you've done a helluva job here."
Yeah, a 'helluva job' on all of us.
