Kansas Kisses up to King Koal

Coal may be winning the political battle that began last fall when the Kansas E.P.A. turned down a permit request to build two more coal-fired electricity generating plants there. Now the Kansas legislature appears to be ready to pass legislation that pleases coal and pays lip-service to the environment....

Heads up, our gases are coming your wayNice spin, there.I note how you use a photo of the tremendous pollution caused by nature to try and imply that man-made coal plants are just as bad. Of course, you can't use a satellite photo of a coal-fired plant because they don't...
