Kansas Gov. Keeps Putting the Smackdown on Dirty Energy

The Kansas City Star reported yesterday that the Kansas House of Representatives couldn’t gather up enough members to override Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ third veto of two proposed coal plants in western Kansas.

Gov. Sebelius is making sure that Kansas considers renewable energy, as Sunflower Energy, the corporation proposing the new coal plants, is being forced to invest in renewable technology and energy-efficiency.

It’s too bad we can’t convince Gov. Easley to place the same standards on Duke Energy for the new Cliffside plant.
