What is the attitude of Kansans toward coal-fired power plants? Opponents of these plants have polls purportedly telling us that a majority of Kansans are opposed to them. See the press release Kansans Support Denial of Coal Plants, Want Wind Power for New Electricity from GPACE, a group headed by Scott Allegrucci, a former actor…

Kansans’ Opposition to Coal Plant: Look at the Poll
We’ve been told that Kansas public opinion is against the building of a coal-fired power plant in western Kansas.

Earthjustice in Kansas: The Press Release
I’ve recently learned that the radical environmentalist group Earthjustice played a role in the rejection of a coal-fired power plant in Kansas.
