Sen. Reid asks Nevada governor to halt plans for coal plants
November 26, 2008
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada asked the Governor of that state to reconsider plans to construct three coal-fired power plants. Reid made this request in light of the recent EPA decision that the approval process for new coal plants must take into consideration the CO2 that a plant will emit and whether it can be reduced.
In his letter to the governor, Reid warned that under the EPA’s decision, Nevada “cannot move forward with any legal certainty” with these coal plants, noting that doing so could put “billions of dollars of Nevadans’ investments in great jeopardy.”
