Kansas panel backs coal plant bill tying to renewables
An 11-9 House Energy and Utilities Committee vote endorsed a measure linking two proposed coal fired plants in Finney County near Holcomb to wind and other renewables. The bill would curb the energy secretary's authority over greenhouse gases, impose tougher efficiency standards for state buildings, mandate some renewable generation, and spur new transmission lines to move wind power inland.
