Decide Effects Kansas Supreme Court to hear case against landmark coal-plant permit denial |
|
30 Nov 2007 |
News |
| Posted at 7:02 AM on 30 Nov 2007 In October, Kansas made an important first by denying a construction permit to a coal-fired power plant due to its carbon dioxide emissions, saying such emissions could harm human health and the environment. The companies behind the $3.6 billion project, as well as other business groups, were outraged by the decision. (Enviros rejoiced.) Attack ads were launched and lawsui ... |

Neva-duh Cheaper to power Nevada with renewables than coal, says consultancy |
|
26 Nov 2007 |
News |
| Posted at 2:57 PM on 26 Nov 2007 Nevada will end up with costlier power if it goes ahead with plans to build three new coal plants instead of relying on renewables, says a study from an independent economic consultancy. Higher construction costs and an inevitable tax on emissions will drive up costs of the black rock in the not-so-long run, according to ECONorthwest. The conclusions will surely get the thumbs up from d ... |

Boo Hoo Hoosier Indiana regulators approve coal plant |

| Posted at 10:11 AM on 21 Nov 2007 Apparently not having received the memo that denying coal plants is the hip thing to do, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has approved an application from Duke Energy to build a coal-gasification plant in the city of Edwardsport. The bright side (if you can call it that): Duke will have to submit a plan on how to capture carbon-dioxide emissions from the plant. But still. sources: The New York Times ... |
