Environmental groups target Luminant

Posted: Updated:

EAST TEXAS (KYTX) -- This week, two environmental groups told the Luminant power company they plan to file a lawsuit against them on behalf of the Sierra Club. 

They allege coal-power Luminant plants committed more than 38,000 violations of the Clean Air Act.    

Luminant power already announced plans to temporarily close plants in East Texas to meet new federal emission standards.  

That would cut about 500 jobs. 

State Representative Bryan Hughes is trying to fight the standards to save the jobs.
