‘Clean coal’ back in Austin

And, trying to wine and dine the Texas Legislature.

Phil King wants to waive franchise fees for integrated gasification combined cycle power plants that capture and store 60 percent of their carbon dioxide.

The story has details on what Luminant or whomever would have to do to qualify for the waiver.

That said, Phil, I have two points for you.

1. No such IGCC plant exists at this time.
2. No way do I support your franchise fee waiver except in a broader context, likely including partial electric industry re-regulation.
