Dynegy's Coal Plant Plans Attacked

Expect to hear a lot about Dynegy in the coming months, especially if you live in Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada or Texas.

The Sierra Club is trying to pressure the company to reverse its decision to build coal-fired power plants in those states, hoping it will take the tack of the investors who purchases TXU with the promise to scuttle its plans to build eight of 11 new coal-fired power plants.

Since that plan was killed, Dynegy (also known in some parts of the country as LS Power) has emerged at the top of the list of companies planning to build new coal-fired power plants, according to the Sierra Club. It has plans for six plants in six states. (That is a small fraction of the coal plants on the drawing board for the entire U.S., a number estimated at 94, down from 157.)
