Rep. Jerry Moran, R-Hays, told a Salina crowd last week that he’s hearing plenty of reaction around the state to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s denial of permits for more coal-fired power plants near Holcomb. In western Kansas, he said, there is a “real sense of, ‘Why are people from somewhere else telling us what to do in our own backyard?’†The reason, at least in part, is that the what starts in western Kansas’ backyard won’t say there, including the proposed plants’ estimated 11 million tons of carbon dioxide a year.
