Texas is No. 1 — in dirty power plants

A work e-mail I received from the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) rates the country’s 50 dirtiest power plants:
The report will show that the 12 states with the heaviest concentrations of the 50 dirtiest power plants (in terms of one key pollutant) are: Texas (five); Pennsylvania (four); Indiana (four); Alabama (three); Georgia (three); North Carolina (three); Ohio (three); West Virginia (three); Wyoming (two); Florida (two); Kentucky (two); and New Mexico (two).

Standing by for comment from Gov. Rick Perry.
