Utility sues Kansas over landmark coal-plant rejection 1

Sunflower Electric Power Company has filed a federal lawsuit against the state of Kansas for its landmark denial last year of an air permit the company needed to build two coal-fired power plants in the western part of the state. The permits were originally denied by an official at the state's department of health and environment due to concerns about carbon dioxide emissions.
