Power Plant Rejected Over Carbon Dioxide For First Time (Global Warming issue)

What would they say to a nuke plant?

"Hey, cutie, I like your energy?"

[the invisib1e hand]

Great, I hope the greenies will not complain when brownouts or rolling blackout happen.

Think Enron. The whole issue can be leveraged into a "Get the rich white guys" schtick. So what if lives are ruined and ordinary people get to forfeit their assets and spend decades in jail.

This is a power plant where 85% of the output was targeted for Colorado. Why not build it there?

[VOA]

“More like 0.038%”

Correctamundo!

I only know that because I saw a History Channel show that included
that “death by carbon dioxide” event in Africa a couple of years back.
(I think they simply said “0.03%)

Keep patting yourselves in the back while you’re in the dark. I wonder what their excuse will be when they reject a nuke?

[tubebender]

If they can’t be built in the US than Mexico will build them and maybe some of the illegals will return home for the work. LNG terminals will soon be built there because of restrictions here...

The Kansas agency's decision caps a controversy over a proposal by
Sunflower Electric Power, a rural electrical cooperative, to build
a pair of big, 700-megawatt,
coal-fired plants
in Holcomb

...when "THEY" came to stop the nuclear power plants, I did nothing
because I didn't get power from a nuclear plant...

...when "THEY" came to stop the wind-farm in the middle of nowhere
or just off-shore, I did nothing because I didn't get power from
a windfarm...

...and when they came for my coal-fired plant...

Well, you know the rest.

The Left wants to take us back to the Dark Ages - no heat, no light, no air conditioning and no reliable power supply. Global warming is a hoax - this is their true agenda.

You give them too much credit. What they really want is your tax money, and coercive social control over your words, deeds, and thoughts. They think the energy necessary to maintain a modern civilization can be obtained from moonbeams and pixie dust industrial hemp and photovoltaic cells.

A sad day.

But look at how happy the state enviro official gets.

Over 1/2 of one degree increase. In 35 years. And no increase in the last 9 years.

Ping!

Looks like Sunflower Electric Power needs to have an environmental "religious conversion".

It would go something like this.

"We at Sunflower Electric Power have seen the evil of our ways. CO2 is bad, very very bad. We won't make any more. We're shutting down all of our plants that produce it. And we cannot, in good conscience, buy power for any other company for resale that does either. So as you freeze to death this winter, remember it's for the environment."

If all the power companies would do this. We could do away with this type of idiocy. Once the "environmentally conscious" public learns that it's going to take far more drastic steps that installing CFL bulbs in their homes to comply with the enviro Nazi's demands, things will change.

>> People who truly believe that power plants are endangering ol’ mumsie earth should be denied electricity, heating oil and gasoline. <<

Damned EXCELLENT idea.
