Kansas Energy Bills Lean Toward Coal Plants Near Holcomb
Editorial argues Kansas energy bills push Sunflower Electric toward building two coal plants near Holcomb with limited green provisions. The piece condemns the timing of a $2.5 million donation to Kansas State University as a possible bribe and urges a comprehensive, thoughtful energy policy that includes wind, solar, and potentially nuclear. It highlights political maneuvering, parochial veto fears, and uncertain EPA standards, urging restraint and a broad strategy.

Andres Oppenheimer notes Cuba may gradually expand private occupations and land ownership, aiming to generate jobs amid a severe food crisis.
