Summary In response to a plan announced in 2006 by TXU Energy to build eleven coal-fired power plants in eastern and central Texas, a coalition of mayors, citizens, ranchers, CEOs, community groups, legislators, and lawyers banded together to oppose the construction, which had been fast-tracked by the Texas Governor. As a result of the pressure brought by these groups, public opinion throughout Texas was changed, and pressure was brought that caused TXU to scale back the plan from eleven to three power plants.
