Paging the Gibbons administration and its bosses at Sier- ra Pacific Resources/Nevada Power. Did you see this in last week's Washington Post: "The Kansas Department of Health and Environment yesterday became the first government agency in the United States to cite carbon dioxide emissions as the reason for rejecting an air permit for a proposed coal-fired electricity generating plant, saying that the greenhouse gas threatens public health and the environment." Now, I know the governor isn't too sure about global warming and I know that he helped the utility get its coal plant past those pesky enviros. But wouldn't it be good to be the second in the nation? I wonder what the Senate majority leader thinks.
