Let me guess...
CS stands for capsicum spray?
2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile. Tear gas.
At Genoa, WI, the environmentalists forced EPA rules mandating scrubbers to remove sulphur. The scubbed ash cannot be recycled and must be disposed of in landfills. The proposed landfill will be near organic farms. The utility is a co-operative with low cost electricity. The hippies now want no scrubbers because “it will only remove the last 10% of the sulphur” and acid rain is “no longer a problem”. They want the ash shipped back to WY by train. Train transport is now a very high cost input to electric generation. They want high cost gassification that the utility lacks space, money and experience to institute.
They are taking no responsibility for being the cause of the scrubber mandate.
Luckily, utilities have a lot of political clout and operate by different rules than most businesses. So far, the State is not onboard with the protestors and seems to understand that we need electricity.
