Campaign Unavailable

Due to a truly historic victory that took place on February 26, 2007, this alert - asking TXU CEO John Wilder to halt his plans for 11 new coal-fired power plants - is no longer available.

Texas Pacific Group and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. announced that they are seeking to acquire Texas-based energy giant TXU Corp. As part of the sale agreement, Environmental Defense helped negotiate an aggressive environmental platform that will, among other things:

Terminate plans for the construction of 8 of 11 coal-fired power plants TXU had hoped to build;
Stop TXU's plans to expand coal operations in other states;
Endorse the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) platform, including the call for a mandatory federal cap on carbon emissions; and
Reduce the company's carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

This is a huge victory for the environmental community. It sends a clear message about the undeniable momentum in our campaign calling for federal global warming legislation.

If you are a Texas resident, we encourage you to take action by contacting your legislators and urge them to support a clean energy future in Texas.
