And gets paid for it. Here’s the Texas Observer story on her new role as “Texas projects director” — that is, chief lobbyist — for Summit Power Group, Inc., which wants to build a coal plant in Texas. Key quote:
A year after Miller lambasted TXU’s outdated technology and told the company that “carbon dioxide is a huge, huge issue for us,” Summit hired the ex-mayor to promote a proposed coal-gasification plant that will sequester at most 60 percent of its CO2 emissions. Asked about coal-gasification technologies that target 90 percent of CO2 emissions, Miller told the Observer, “You can’t capture more than 60 percent and have it be [economically] viable.”

Typical!!! She never did what she said she would do anyway!!
She will use the rest of the CO2 to fill our potholes. Too bad CO2 doesn’t work as good as concrete or asphalt…
Laura Miller’s journey to the Dark Side is now complete.
Great article… and don’t forget the benefits that planting a tree will have on the environment. Each one will soak up 20kgs of CO2 every year and put enough Oxygen back in the atmosphere to support 2 people.
