FORUM ON COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS TUESDAY

The Citizens League for Environmental Action will present a forum about coal-fired power plants in Texas. Coal fired power plants are major sources for the dispersion of metals such as arsenic and mercury and also emit other pollutants. Although a judge has struck down Governor Perry’s executive order to fast-track power plant permits, the fight against the coal plants continues. Speakers will be Houston council member Carol Alvarado; Carol Neil Carman, Ph.D., Sierra Club; Jim Tarr, Stone Lions Environmental; Stephen King, Ph.D., CLEAN; David Marrack, M.D.; and Tom “Smitty” Smith, Public Citizen.The event will be Tuesday, Feb 27, from 6 to 8:30 pm in the Houston Ballroom on the second floor of the University Center, University of Houston Main Campus.
