Our briefing paper is the result of a February 1995 seminar on Clean Energy
in the Mexico-Texas Border Region. It includes presentations from the
following institutions: EPA, National Park Service, ITESM, McDonald
Observatory, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Big Bend
National Park, former Texas Parks & Wildlife Board Member Bill Hobby (now
chancellor at the University of Houston), and the University of Texas Dept.
of Chemical Engineering.
The report focuses in part on the results of the most recent EPA/National
Park Service model of SO2 impacts over Big Bend National Park. It
discusses Texas sources of SO2, as well as the emissions from Carbon I and
II, coal-fired electricity generating plants in Coahuila that were built
without pollution control equipment.
As you may know, President Zedillo is scheduled to travel to Coahuila this
week to dedicate the final units of Carbon II, and the Washington Post over
the past week has published a story on this subject.
