Once the new Tata Ultra Mega power plant in western India is fired up in 2012 and fully operational, it will become one of the world’s 50 largest greenhouse-gas emitters. And the World Bank is helping make it possible. A year after World Bank President Robert Zoellick pledged to โ€œsignificantly step up our assistanceโ€ in fighting climate change, the development institution is increasing its financing of fossil-fuel projects around the globe.
