RE: Innovative Strategies for Electric Utilities
The "innovation" must be the flexibility. The P2 is left up to the
beholder.

This certainly sounds like a good step forward for cleaner air in Texas,
but after reading the press release, I'm left with some questions. Is
this project to install scrubbers an example of pollution prevention or
is it an example of more stringent pollution control? Given that
scrubbers have been around for a number of years and have been required
for a number of facilities in different areas, what exactly makes this
permit innovative? Or is there something I'm missing from the press
release?

> We recently submitted an application for a Flexible Air Permit to the
TNRCC for our 1,500 MW coal fired power plant in La Grange Texas. The
innovative air permit will allow our facility to implement many P2
projects that would have not been possible without the Flex Permit (most
of these P2 projects would have triggered NSR). The Flex permit will
be put in motion over the next 10 years.

utilities if the states are able to provide the flexibility. It can
provide some near term benefits and long term reductions without waiting
for CAA reforms or implemntation of the Bush Clear Skies initiative.
