Dynegy Drops Dirty Coal Plants under Sierra Club
Pressure
Sierra Club, January 2, 2009
Under pressure from the Sierra Club's "Clean Up Dynegy Campaign," Dynegy
Inc. today announced that it is pulling out of its joint venture with LS
Power and abandoning five of its seven proposed coal-fired power plants. In
February 2008, the Sierra Club launched a national grassroots campaign to
urge Houston-based coal giant Dynegy to clean up its act. The campaign
kicked off with call-in events in 20 states, which generated thousands of
telephone calls to Dynegy headquarters, pressuring the company to shift its
investments away from coal and into cleaner, smarter energy solutions
