After TXU’s decision to cancel plans for eight pulverized coal-fired power plants in Texas, analysts are wondering how many other proposed coal-fired power plants will be shot down in the nationwide environmental battle against dirty coal.

The cancellation of plans for eight pulverized coal-fired power plants by TXU Corp. last week means yet still greater reliance on gas-fired power generation in Texas, where about 70% of active capacity in the state is gas fired, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
