Sunflower seeks water rights for second power plant
Landowners oppose granting Sunflower Water rights arguing over-appropriation endangers irrigation. Garden City officials support the project but stop short of backing water rights. Sunflower cites 25 years of planning, potential lower power costs, and regional economic benefits while experts raise modeling and aquifer depletion concerns. If approved, construction could begin next year with a 2007 startup at a $900 million cost.
