We covered this for you yesterday. And have been all over this story here (a lesson in economics), here (a sweet chubby Al reference), here (can you say $10 billion?) and here (can you say $4 billion?). If you really like coal, you can check out our entire coverage here. From LJWorld.com:
The Kansas Legislature on Wednesday sent another coal-fired power plants bill to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius before ending the wrap-up session.
Sebelius has vetoed two bills that would have authorized the two 700-megawatt plants in southwest Kansas.
But on this measure — House Bill 2412 — supporters of the project bundled it with other economic development initiatives that have gained widespread support.
House Speaker Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls, said he believes Sebelius will allow the measure to become law without her signature.
Asked if he would attempt to override a Sebelius veto on the session’s ceremonial last day May 29, Neufeld said he wouldn’t speculate.
