Kansas Supreme Court reverses permit granted to Sunflower coal plant

Brian McNicoll, senior communications director at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which advocates limited government, said experts at his think tank believe that if the new regulations are implemented, no one will be able to build a plant because the technology needed to lower emissions to new levels doesn’t yet exist.

“It is a difficult time for coal plants,” McNicoll said. “If they finalize the regulations, it will be impossible to build any new coal plants.”
