The timeless contours of la France profonde - at least south of the wheat and beet belt - are a testimony to the long subsidy of French farming.

The buyout firms promised not only to halt eight of the Texas plants but also to terminate plans for coal-fired operations in New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland--a recognition that momentum is growing in Washington for legislation to mandate caps on carbon emissions. On Feb. 26, California and four other states agreed to establish within 18 months a market to trade emission credits. TXU, as part of its agreement, plans to join DuPont, Alcoa, General Electric and seven other firms in pushing Congress for a national cap-and-trade program...
