Kansas Says No To More Power

J.J. Jackson* | October 25, 2007

Why? Because of Global Warming hysteria:

A Kansas regulator has turned down a permit for a large coal-fired power plant solely because of the global warming gases it would emit.

Opponents of the plant say this is the first instance of a regulatory agency’s rejecting a permit for that reason alone.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment on Thursday turned down a permit for twin 700-megawatt coal-fired generators that a group of electric cooperatives is seeking to build near Holcomb in southwest Kansas. The ownership and the electricity would be shared by 67 cooperatives in Kansas and neighboring states.

The department’s staff had recommended issuing the air quality permits, but Roderick L. Bremby, the secretary of the department, said in a statement, “I believe it would be irresponsible to ignore emerging information about the contribution of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to climate change and the potential harm to our environment and health if we do nothing.”

Yep, there you have it. Science ignored. Al Gore accepted.

I wonder what the Department of Health and Environment will tell people if and when the day comes where they start having blackouts in the summer and no air condition and people are dying from the heat caused by natural cycles.
