The Kansas Governor Fails Again

Governor Sebelius is dead wrong again.  She claims the inexpensive power will cost Kansas Farmers and Ranchers later.  Really.  How is that, rising sea levels?  Inexpensive power is great for Kansas.  As for fossil fuels being the largest contributor to CO2 levels is not factually correct either.  Natural source like decay, volcanic gases, and a whole host of other mechanisms that Mother Nature provides are a much larger source.

There will not be another $3.6 Billion development in this state, ever.  This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to add industrial infrastructure, real jobs, and a huge tax base for Western Kansas.  

Coal is the only realistic way to gain more energy independence.  Our Governor is thinking only about pleasing a small minority of people that want to move this country back into the dark ages.  Meaning a time before we actually had electricity.  Personally I like our standard of living and would like my children to enjoy the same.  

Write your State Legislators and let them know you support the Holcomb project.  The veto failed to be overridden in the House by one vote.  The Senate is on board with economic development.
