You know its darn cold...

...When snow won't melt on a cow...

Do you enjoy unusual weather patterns?  Last evening I was watching "Ask Your Legislator" from KCPT public television.  The 3 old, white men legislators were blabbing about how Kansas needs the new Sunflower Electric coal fired power plant. (Go here if you've never heard of this before).  A caller asked why Kansas needs this plant if over half of the power generated will be sold to other states?  The OWM legislators calmly explained to us simpletons that Kansas can make money exporting energy to other states as a product, just like we export beef.  They also pointed out that coal plants can be built to burn cleaner than they have in the past.  Never once did they say that the particular plant in question will be built that way. In fact they carefully avoided saying that (and cleaner, by the way, in no way means clean!).   I wanted to know if Kansas will be exporting the health and environmental problems and pollution to other states as well?   ...Or do we get to keep that all for ourselves?

I did email...but they apparently didn't have time for my question.

Do you live in Kansas and believe they should find other options to building a new coal-fired power plant (and, as an aside, don't you think we've had enough of old, white men running, and ruining, the world?)  Go here and find your legislator...

....let them know we are watching them carefully...
