We have a cleaner enviroment and higher standards than most countries.
She really should do her whining in India and China.
Obviously clueless about coal-fired generation and emission standards.
Folks should only preach about that of which they have some rudimentary knowledge, at least.
So (certain) Baptists are okay if folks freeze. Got it. Now no whining when it happens.
BGCT is the liberal side of the Southern Baptists. The conservatives are the SBT - Southern Baptists of Texas.
Liberal organization
unbelievable that the Baptist Church in Texas of all places could be taken over by leftists.
Suzii? With two i's? Does she draw little hearts over them?
In the 70s, I started up coal fired plants in Chile and worked on them in China. No emissions controls AT ALL. Not even electrostatic precipitators to capture the flyash. Our plants are very clean with particulate, SO2, NOx, water and solid waste disposal controls. If she wants to see dirty, go look at China. I doubt they are installing basic controls, even today.
The Southern Baptists split from the liberal Baptists due to the unbiblical stand the libs take. The libs are calling themselves mainstream Baptists. Each Southern Baptist church is independent, but cooperate in many ways.
Fine.
Build nuclear power plants instead. I wonder how that would fare??
Indeed. It might do the TXU some PR good to be pro-active and maybe take a busload or two on a site visit to a TX plant, and maybe give a ppt presentation to the congregation on modern pollution controls. Otherwise they'll cluelessly continue to spout this enviro-whacko misinformation.
A dying liberal organization, to be exact.

Now that is really something, "Keep Waco Green" and Baptist Deaconess in the same sentence..
I find it strange that the article used the male form of a Church office even though a female is holding it.
This group of Baptists in Texas like to characterize themselves as moderates when, in fact, they are liberals in theology and earth issues!
I respect liberals more than I do moderates, for liberals are at the very least honest enough to own up to what they really are.
This is just feckless propaganda and as shallow as the soundbites which are issued to media flacks to slavishly report them as though they are important and worthy of discussion. There is nothing religious about this evironmental radicalism. Its just socialism wearing a frock or a habit.
Yes, continue to be beholden to the godless communists like Chavez and the heathen Islamic oil producers. Keep putting money into the hands of those who fund the attacks on Christians around the World.
America has 500 years worth of coal in the ground.
We should use it as an interim source to help break the oil cartels hold. "Not in my neighborhood' is a lame excuse when the power IS used in your neighborhood.
If they want to protest the plants, they should take it all the way and demand that all 2.3 million of their members stop using electricity. That would more than remove the need for the extra plants.
