The Edison Electric Institute, an association of US shareholder-owned electric companies, recently released a new report documenting power plant construction for the third quarter of 2007. Among the notable highlights: - To date, 82% of the canceled projects in 2007 were coal plants - In the third quarter, these companies announced plans to build the same amount of capacity as these abandoned coal plans all without relying on coal plants.

These facts along with useful charts and information on transmission line and nuclear plant proposals can be found in the full report at:
