Clean Air In the News

The denial of an air-quality permit to Tri-State and Sunflower Electric by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment last week was the first time that carbon-dioxide emissions have been cited as a reason for denial in the United States. Health department secretary Rod Bremby denied the permit on the basis of carbon dioxide because it is a greenhouse gas associated with climate change . . .

 

"This is going to have lasting rewards for the region’s air, water, economy and climate,” said Matt Baker of Environment Colorado."
