Oooh, great find from the amazing K.

"Tell Citigroup and Merrill Lynch to Stop Financing Climate Change!

Citigroup and Merrill Lynch are currently helping TXU, Texas’ largest utility, finance 11 new coal-fired power plants in Texas. Together, these plants will emit 78 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, which is:

• Equal to the annual emissions of 14 million passenger cars
• More than two-and-a-half times more CO2 than California will prevent with its groundbreaking emissions reduction program for vehicles
• Larger than the emissions of many entire countries, including Denmark, Portugal, and Sweden.

Both Citigroup and Merrill Lynch describe themselves as environmental leaders. Yet, at a time when a growing number of business leaders are taking action to reduce climate change emissions, these two financial giants are helping to build power plants that will help to accelerate climate change."
