Environmentalists win big victory over Kaiparowits power plant
Environmentalists celebrate the decision not to build the Kaiparowits coal fired generating plant in Utah after 13 years of opposition. Rising costs and flat demand help sway backers, with coal ruled out and nuclear power faces a close California vote. The move preserves national parks and skies while oil import concerns shape the energy debate.
