Eradicating an ugly Bush stain: E.P.A. Objects to Coal-Powered Plant in S. Dakota

By GottaLaff


There is no such thing as clean coal. Let's hope that the ObamAdministration fully realizes that. This is a good start, though, toward eradicating yet another filthy, toxic Bush stain:
The chairman of the Public Utilities Commission said the Environmental Protection Agency had filed objections to an air quality permit a state agency had granted for the proposed coal-fired Big Stone II power plant. “This is a signal that the Obama administration is taking a much harder look at coal power from the previous administration,” said Darrell Gerber, a program coordinator for the group Clean Water Action, which along with the Sierra Club opposed the plant. [...] The 580-megawatt plant is planned by the Otter Tail Power Company and four other utilities for the Milbank area in the northeastern corner of South Dakota.
