While you are corerect about our succesfull efforts to oppose the Glades power park you are wrong to link us to the, Environment Florida organization's website. We are not part of that group and don't care to be. If you care to have a deeper understanding of our efforts regarding the Glade plant I recomend going to the Florida PSC website and finding docket 070098. Read the opening statements of the intervenors which include ours under Krasowski's, the post hearing brief's and the transcript of the final determination hearing.

If you guys in the US keep rejecting dirty coal perhaps the utilities will take a hint and look for alternatives. Would be nice for someone to just outlaw them though... Nice one!

One down, eight to go, eh? I think public utility commissions are more and more turning against the idea of allowing new coal-fired power plant construction. There are still a lot of new plants on the drawing boards, and some will likely win approval, but if we remain vigilant, both in fighting individual plants at the local level, and in fighting for comprehensive national and state climate change policies that will prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not sequester emissions, I think we can win the war.

Governor Crist seems to understand the need for firm action on global warming, and we intend to keep pushing to stop new coal plants throughout Florida. Right now we are gearing up for Energy Justice Summer Taylor county, where we will be linking students with the community members fighting a proposed plant there. This is going to take place in August on the 3rd-5th, if you want more information go to www.energyjustice.net/ejs/florida.html and come on down. Its going to be a awesome time!
