 Lower
energy costs, a balanced
state budget
In late 2007 one bureaucrat, putting his own opinion above state law, shut down the creation of a multi-billion dollar power plant in economically deprived western Kansas. Company stockholders had invested several million dollars to meet all the requirements needed for a permit. With one stroke of a pen and neglecting the advice of his own agency, the bureaucrat refused to approve the permit to build. Seeing the unfairness in this, knowing the need for additional electricity produced by modern, environmentally-friendly plants, and concerned about the precedent that this arbitrary ruling could have on other companies, our legislature worked tirelessly in a bi-partisan effort in 2008 to pass legislation to allow the Holcomb Power Station project to proceed. In spite of their best efforts and concessions, the Governor arbitrarily vetoed all bills that they passed. Sign the petition and we’ll deliver this message to your Legislators: "I encourage
you to develop energy policies that are based on proven
science to meet our growing need for electricity and allow our economy
to grow, while preserving our quality of life in Kansas."
