« Governor to unveil plans to trim Ocean Staters' figures | Today | Providence man injured in Webster, Mass., shooting » January 29, 2008Lynch, other AGs seek denial of S.C. coal-fired plantCHARLESTON, S.C. -- Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch joined seven attorneys general to ask environmental officials in South Carolina to deny a permit to build a coal-fired power plant. A letter sent this month says the proposed plant would release millions of tons of carbon dioxide in the air, hurting efforts to reduce greenhouse gases. Lynch signed it, as did his counterparts from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and other states. The power plant is expected to provide enough power for 600,000 homes. The company proposing it, Santee Cooper, says it will be built with equipment to meet or exceed state and federal standards. The same group of attorneys general sent a letter to Kansas officials last year arguing against a power plant. That permit was denied. -- The Associated Press Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsEMT | January 29, 2008 4:38 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

"Every week to 10 days, another coal-fired power plant opens somewhere in China that is big enough to serve all the households in Dallas or San Diego."

How many American air-quality regulations do you think THOSE places are following?
And these AGs are worried about ONE or TWO??
Get a freakin grip people. You don't want any involvement with oil, coal, or nuclear. The "progressives" want to take us back to the Stone Age!!! What a bunch of loons!
