This one plant alone will emit more mercury than the combined eight plants TXU supposedly dropped (which TXU still has yet to withdraw its permits for these 8 plants). If that's an ok environmental standard for KKR/EDF, then their "analytical tools" won't be of much service to the public. Looks like a really sad case of greenwashing to me.
