Just to make matters even more complicated, the Clean Air Task Force recently filed comments to the PSC in support of the plant. These are usually the guys who oppose coal-fired power plants, but here they are in West Virginia.
So what should we do next?
Let me offer these two related considerations....
1. We believe that the full environmental costs of power plants needs to be born by the plant owner. For new technology, carbon dioxide must be fully considered in this regard.
2. It is our position that carbon dioxide is now recognized as a pollutant, or a special case of a substance that must be substantially limited as an emission because of the global climate change problem now extant, so a complete plan for accounting for carbon dioxide is necessary including provisions for collecting the carbon dioxide, following it to its ultimate destination, and ensuring its removal from impact on the environment at any future time.
