Public hearings continue over Sunflower power project near Holcomb
KDHE plans a 30 day period for revised information followed by public comment and another hearing. Three hearings this week will address a heated three year battle over Sunflower Electric’s proposal for two 700 megawatt plants. Bremby denied permits in 2007 over carbon emissions concerns. Governing shifts under Sebelius and Parrison allowed one 895 megawatt plant after 2009.
