Well, at least that's the story I've heard. I'm not the kind of person who normally goes for "conspiracy theories" though, so I'll just say, energy is still a huge issue, even though gas prices have now come down substantially. Energy (and where to get it) has HUGE consequences on everything from global warming to international politics.
We need to solve this problem ASAP. This is no time to let down our guard. I hope we can get our best and brightest scientists and engineers to work on this problem, so that some day we will be energy independent. Until then, we will be hostages to foreign oil, with all the consequences.
The Church never does anything that isn't good for the community as a whole.
I bet the greenies don't walk or ride bicycles to their meetings.

This is not oversimplification. Children born today will be very sick indeed as adults unless we change direction. It's not an issue of local politcs or "greenies" vs. "Dutch." We all breathe and rely on a healthy biosphere to survive.
The US has only 100 coal-burning electric plants, but they contribute 40% of our carbon-dioxide emissions. I'm not a "nut." I'm just picking my battles wisely.

This plant should be a no-brainer. The plan was to take the coal waste that would normally not be burned and burn it to produce power. There is not any residential developments within dozens of miles.
Let's get the thing built.
