Dynegy (which merged with LS Power in Mar. 2007) will celebrate its tenth anniversary this June. In its first decade, the company had at least one near-death experience, getting caught up in charges of price fixing and other fraudulent practices during the California electricity crisis of 2000 and again in the wake of the Enron debacle in 2002.

Williamson, who came on board to replace founder Charles Watson, is credited with saving the foundering company by exiting natural gas and moving into coal. Unfortunately, Dynegy can't seem to get its timing right. Compared to the current hornets' nest of coal opposition he finds himself in, Williamson may already be feeling nostalgic for the good old days of natural gas.

Prior to the launching of the Sierra club campaign, five Dynegy and LS Power projects had already hit the dust:

• Baldwin Energy Complex (Illinois)
• LS Power Sequoyah Plant (Oklahoma)
• LS Power Sussex proposal (Virginia)
• Marion City Project (South Carolina)
• West Deptford Project (New Jersey)

The remaining six, all targeted by the "Clean Up Dynegy" campaign, are as follows:

• Longleaf (Georgia)
• LS Power Elk Run Energy Station (Iowa)
• Midland Power Plant (Michigan)
• Plum Point Energy Station (Arkansas)
• Sandy Creek Plant (Texas)
• White Pine Energy Station (Nevada)
