"We're Not in Kansas Anymore"

As you remember, Dorothy and Toto got blown a little off course.  Some coal-fired power plants have had a similar trial.  See Coal Plants Blocked here from October 2007 and a follow-up story at Coal Takes Some Lumps from a year ago.

It turns out that the company trying so desperately to site its plants in Kansas has given up.  See this from the “Lawrence Journal-World.”  They quote a spokesman for Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association:  “The delays in permitting the Kansas project make it unlikely to be available in the near-term.”

Great story for the climate.  Huge kudos for Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and her Department of Health and Environment Secretary, Rod Bremby.
