<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Bill to allow new dirty coal plant vetoed by Kansas governor]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by OurFriendlyEarth http://www.grist.org/article/kansas_coal1/ Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:37:02 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/kansas_coal1/1 What's the Matter with Kansas...

Yes, it's hard to believe if you have read the book, "What's the Matter with Kansas", but we do have a Democratic governor who is intelligent and forward thinking. Kudos to Governor Kathleen Sebelius for toeing the line on clean energy for Kansas. The fact that the legislature is trying to over-ride the veto should tell you a bit about what's the matter with Kansas. Now all of us in Kansas who are eco-responsible need to contact our legislators and let them know we support clean energy development. No more fossil fuels in our energy plans please!

Send this to your legilators Kansans.  An update of the graph comparing total power costs of coal, gas, nuclear, and wind from 2004 would show wind is very competitive.  How would fuel cost increases since 2004 shift this picture?  Wildly in favor of wind.

Turn struggling family farms into wind farms with a 10 cent per kwh subsidt direct to farmers.  That's good Kansas energy and ag policy.

The Governor of Kansas ought to try to teach her wisdom to those in Montana that think that a coal fired plant outside Great Falls is a good idea. How can they not know better?
