Update On Forced Green’s Post ‘Texas At A Green Crossroads’ – The Earth Won!
Gov. Rick Perry’s lawsuit to block the EPA from demanding that the state begin to comply with the clean air act, met with defeat on June 30th when the EPA announced final disapproval of the flexible permit program that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ – all Perry appointees), had submitted for inclusion in its clean-air implementation plan. EPA has determined that this program does not meet several national Clean Air Act requirements that help to assure the protection of health and the environment.

Now Is The Time For All Good Texans To Come To The Aid Of Their Environment! And The Rest Of The World Is Invited To Put In Their Two Cents.
For over a decade, environmentalists accused the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) of lax regulation and urged the EPA to step in. Now the EPA appears to be agreeing with them and has given Texas until June 30 to change its approach or lose its oversight authority at potentially dozens of large industrial sites.
Enough is enough. Please sign the petition in support of the EPA fixing Texas’ broken air pollution permitting system: http://www.environmenttexas.org/action/clean-air/perry-petition2

If you do not think that there is a movement beginning, you are wrong!
A little town very close to me here in deep East Texas, Lindale, has decided
they need to develop some opportunities to grow the city. They are now working
with Decker Energy International, Inc., a Florida based privately held company,
to assist them in building a 35-50 megawatt wood-fired biomass power plant.
This plant will have 25 full time jobs. Along with more jobs to build it. Yeah!
The proposed site is 43 acres that is currently owned by the Lindale Economic
Development Corporation (LEDC) which will also be part of the Lindale
Industrial Park. This project will cost the city about $130 million. (more…)
