Taken together, the six planned Dynegy coal-fired power plants would spew an estimated 44 million tons of global warming pollution into the air each year - making them one of the single largest sources of such pollution in the U.S.

Consider these facts:

• Scientists tell us that to avoid the worst consequences of global warming we need to be reducing our carbon dioxide emissions by 2 percent a year, not increasing them.
• The soot, smog, mercury and other harmful air pollution from Dynegy's proposed plants will cause hundreds of asthma attacks and other respiratory illnesses and hurt the economy by causing thousands of missed work days.
• Each year in the U.S. pollution from coal-fired power plants causes 21,000 hospitalizations, 38,000 heart attacks, and 24,000 deaths.
