Sunflower bill sparks debate over pro coal climate rules
Sunflower supporters frame the measure as a path to reapply for a permit while critics warn it weakens safeguards. The bill would ease plant siting, require legislative approval for tougher state air standards, curb emergency power use, and impose a $3 per ton carbon tax for excess emissions. It allows CO2 credits through renewable investments and offsets, but opponents fear gaming to avoid strict limits. Lawmakers from both parties debate climate impact, renewable credits, and the bill’s feasibility with Sebelius and Bremby.
