This One's for Mom Earth
Sierra Club will sue over new coal plants |
|
07 May 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 10:11 AM on 07 May 2008 The Sierra Club is planning lawsuits to halt construction of coal plants in seven states, arguing that the mercury-spewing plants violate the Clean Air Act. Noting that a federal appeals court ruled in February that the Bush administration's mercury regulations were too lax, the green group seeks to require the coal plants to get new state permits meeting tougher emissions standards. "We wan ... |

From My Coal-Dead Kans.
Veto override fails in Kansas; embattled coal plants remain dead |
|
02 May 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 10:57 AM on 02 May 2008 Two new coal-fired power plants will not be built in western Kansas due to a failed attempt to override the governor's veto. The coal-plant saga began when a state environment official last year rejected Sunflower Energy's permit to build the new plants -- the first such rejection in the U.S. on the basis of carbon dioxide emissions. State legislators who had backed the plan ... |

President Bush stumps for ANWR drilling and dirty-energy expansion |

29 Apr 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 3:17 PM on 29 Apr 2008 In a speech Tuesday, President Bush aimed to pacify Americans' concerns about skyrocketing fuel and food prices with the assurance that it's all Congress' fault. Bush advocated tackling energy prices by throwing environmental protection to the winds (in not quite those words), urging Congress to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling and rah-rah-ing new ... |

Third try at coal-plant bill heads to Kansas governor |

News |
| Posted at 12:46 PM on 25 Apr 2008 With firm belief in the power of try, trying again, Kansas legislators have sent another coal-plant proposal to the desk of veto-happy Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. The governor has twice shot down legislation to allow a new two-unit coal plant to be built in her state, but legislative leaders say the new plan is a compromise: it would reduce the size of the ... |

Climate Be Damned
E.U. plows ahead with coal |

News |
| Posted at 11:24 AM on 23 Apr 2008 Even as it makes plans to cut greenhouse-gas emissions, the European Union is gearing up to put some 50 coal plants on line in the next five years. Europeans' distaste for nuclear energy and the relative cheap cost of coal -- even when carbon permits are factored in -- have made the black rock attractive for meeting rising demand. E.U. electric companies say they're seeking out "clean" coal, an oxymoron that ... |
