Sunflower expansion debate links climate, jobs and policy
Kansas officials and Sunflower Cooperative face a complex energy policy clash over coal limits and new plants. Leaders argue for a balanced mix of wind, coal, natural gas and nuclear to meet rising demand while keeping rates reasonable. The case hinges on a $3.6 billion expansion and a pending Kansas Supreme Court decision shaping the state’s energy future.

Kansas utility eyes proposed Missouri power plant
Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. of Springfield seeks 125 megawatts from the Norborne Missouri plant after preliminary state approval for a 780 megawatt coal-fired facility near Norborne. The project, costing about 1.7 billion dollars, would serve 57 Missouri co-ops and areas in Iowa and Oklahoma. Kansas health and environment secretary earlier rejected an air quality permit for Sunflower Electric Power Corp. Holcomb plants, with Sunflower appealing to the state Supreme Court.
