Doing business in Texas
If TXU can fund Perry’s campaign, I guess natural gas producers can finance the opposition. I’m sure they’re equally sincere with regard to the public interest.
AUSTIN — Dirty, gritty faces have stared out from the ads in Texas’ major newspapers since Sunday, declaring, “Coal is filthy,” and urging people to oppose TXU Corp.’s proposal to build 11 coal-fired electric plants.
The ads appear to have been placed by two well-known environmental groups to promote an anti-coal plant rally this weekend in Austin.
But the ads were placed by a 2-week-old group called the Texas Clean Sky Coalition.
Only one of the nation’s largest gas producers, Oklahoma-based Chesapeake Energy Corp., admitted to helping finance the advertising campaign, which easily cost several hundred thousand dollars.
