Wall Street Journal Ignores the Financial Risks of Coal [2]
The Wall Street Journal's editorial writers again revealed their disregard of basic carbon economics in a piece last Friday [8] that ignored new financial realities in order to stump in favor of more coal power for Kansas."
The piece was filled with inaccuracies, but this was the most glaring lie: they said Governor Kathleen Sibelius is suggesting wind power as the sole alternative to the two coal plants she's so far successfully stopped. In actual fact, the Governor in a spirit of compromise has quite reasonably proposed building only one coal plant in Kansas as an alternative to two, but her offer has been rejected by desperate coal interests there."
