Spitzer urges Kansas wind of change on coal plant plan
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer urged Kansas to pursue conservation and alternative energy rather than the Powder River Basin coal project. He warned CO2 emissions from this coal type are high and suggested integrated gasification or other tech, while Sunflower argues the proposal is feasible and needed. Local officials review comments ahead of a KDHE hearing within about 45 days.
