add $500M worth of pollution control equipment
Nov. 22Dominion Resources Inc. plans to
spend $500 million on pollution control equipment for coal-fired power
plants in Virginia, the company said.

company said.
The new equipment will be installed between 2008 and 2015, Dominion
said.
"Dominion is proud of its long history of environmental stewardship,"
said Thomas F. Farrell II, president and chief operating officer.
"Today, we are setting a new standard in our pledge to be a leader
nationally in the effort to improve air quality."
