Kansans Resist Coal Power Plants
TOPEKA, Kansas, March 12, 2008 (ENS) - A coalition of groups and individuals gathered at the Kansas State Capitol Tuesday to show support for Governor Kathleen Sebelius' expected veto of an energy bill that would permit two coal-fired power plants to be built in western Kansas.The bill last week passed both the state House and Senate, but not with a veto-proof majority. It would overturn an October 2007 decision by Rod Bremby, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, to deny an air permit to the power plants. Bremby cited concerns about carbon dioxide emissions and global warming as reasons for his decision.
The energy bill now headed for the governor's desk also would strip the Kansas Department of Health and Environment of its power to deny permits to such plants.
