State issues unusual extension delays Sunflower coal plant
The state grants a stay on Sunflower’s 18 month construction clock for the Holcomb expansion, allowing Sunflower to begin within a year after the state Supreme Court ruling while the Sierra Club may contest the permit. KDHE says no extension to the permit deadline. Public reaction cites potential pollution implications and procedural norms. The Star notes historic regulatory tension and prior lawsuits.

Ogallala aquifer reform eyed to extend life
Gov seeks ideas on water use as aquifer recharge lags at 0.5 inch per year while withdrawals far exceed this in parts. In southwest Kansas the level dropped five feet in a year. Kansas State University economist Bill Golden calls for policy changes to extend the aquifer life, favoring reduced water use per irrigated acre over removing land from irrigation.
