The White Stallion Coal Plant is no longer an isolated Matagorda County issue. At/for, the LCRA Board of Directors meeting 2 weeks ago they received 2,260 statements from people up/down the entire Colorado River Watershed opposing White Stallion...and only 1 in favor. City of Houston Mayor Annise Parker has recently come out opposing it: http://nocoalcoalition.org/get-the-fa...
The issue has gone area-wide/region-wide/Colorado River Watershed wide.
Literally, every National Environmental & Public Health Organization have submitted objections to the White Stallion. Ditto, every State Environmental Organization, Matagorda County & State Medical Associations, Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), Ducks Unlimited, and Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept. (all of which represent millions & millions of American citizens opposed to White Stallion)
It's no longer just Matagorda County but area-wide/region-wide/Colorado River Watershed wide.
Will Mr.Richards tell all of Matagorda County what Clean Coal is since local elected officials will not??
"There are no homes in America powered by Clean Coal" -- MIT database.
The Coal Plant has applied to the LCRA to remove 56 Square Miles of water from the Colorado River each year - by comparison Matagorda Bay is 59 Square Miles. That water will not be retained in a cooling pond and returned to the river like STP, but will go right up the coal plant 60 Story tall smokestacks. That amount of water is 1/4 the entire annual usage of Austin.
For those and other reasons, is why the US EPA, Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept., US Fish & Wildlife Service, and The Nature Conservancy have filed documents denying the Permit Application for the White Stallion Coal Plant.
