The SF Board of Stupidvisors weighed in a couple of days, now the rest of GanGReen including the Gub agree.

Damn. Just cut all power lines at the California border. If California wants to dictate what companies can do in Nevada (and the winds all blow east from there away from California) then they should live with the economic consequences of their holier than thou attitude.

California, you generate all the power you need under your rules.

What's needed is superior conduction technology. Then they could build nuke plants in non-controversial places and transmit the power anywhere.

Actually the real need is for people to stop complaining. If we solved every "problem" in the world, we would instantly find new issues to whine about.

When is Nevada going to sue to stop Gaming in Kollyfawnia???

It seems like CA is trying regulate interstate commerce. I thought that was illegal.

Ah,again Kalifornicate thinks that it should give orders to everyone. Could the queer state simply refuse to buy coal power, Ohhh noooo, just gotta dictate. Nevada outta just build it and they will come. That is, the California businesses to Nevada. The dope smokin' hippies and gang bangers would enjoy the dark, but the growers would have to move their plants outside.

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Tuesday to oppose the plant's construction

Since when does the SFBoS have jurisdiction in Nevada?

the Grovelnator's supporters (natural gas investors who fund the NRDC) would just love those higher prices for natural gas fired energy to continue into perpetuity.

THE main emission from NG fired plants is CO2. Besides, the prevailing winds blow FROM CA to NV.....The coal fired plants wouldn't even get a smell in CA. (Though the citizens in NV can sure smell CA...)

In the mean time, cut those power lines and tell those enviro-wienies to stuff it. What do they need power for anyways?

AGREED! Abso-freekin-lootly!!!

Remind me again which state Schwarzenegger is the governor of?

[commonasdirt]

".....environmental groups as well as hordes of partygoers from the San Francisco Bay area who visit the desert each year for the Burning Man festival. "

Oh yes, god forbid providing enough power for people to live interfere with the Burning Man Festival.

As a person who worked in a coal fired power plant in Alaska for 17 years I would like to read more about the technology to be utilized at the proposed plant. No doubt it is MUCH better environmentally then the 1937 design of the plant I worked in till '88
