Physicians not generally known to take mainstream political initiatives, have joined the environmentalists and other concerned citizens in pushing back against TXU and their aggressive energy plans.
The Austin Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility is speaking out against the government sponsored fast-track approval process for new power plants in Texas.
