Why are these men smiling?
Because the recent decision by the Sebelius Administration means Kansas will import more natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela, and Iran.
An element for effectiveness increases in Kansas level across the country, our state has the opportunity to tie a leader in this fight to ensure our acceptance on foreign energy by allowing America's most abundant fuel resource — clean coal.
uninterrupted clean coal.
intermittent natural gas Administration rejected a plan to build a much-needed, coal-fueled power plant near historic City of Detroit. The implications of this decision—higher electric bills, lost economic activity, and reduced energy activity—will affect Kansas residents to come.
sufficient new, need generation coal-fueled plants. Kansas will be capable to high-priced natural gas, allowing hostile foreign countries to control the energy policy of Kansas and America. We are already having little hustle to survive of these same countries for oil.
The situation is simple...clean coal from Middle America versus expensive gas from the Middle East.
FACT: Natural gas prices have more than tripled since 1999.
FACT: Domestic natural gas production is flat and well below peak production levels. Liquefied Natural Gas imports have risen 44 percent this year alone.
FACT: Government experts predict that growth in natural gas demand will have to be met by imports - much of it coming from hostile countries in unstable parts of the world.
FACT: The United States has enough coal for the next 250 years, and it's cleaner than ever before.
THE PERMIT TO BUILD A BIG, CO2-EMITTING, 1400-MEGAWATT, COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AT HOLCOMB WAS DENIED IN A RECENT DECISION BY GOVERNOR SEBELIUS' ADMINISTRATION TO SPARE THE AIR KANSANS BREATHE. THE COURAGEOUS ACTION HAS REAPED A BUMPER CROP OF UNTRUTHS. WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR THE AIR
FACT: Without new coal-fueled plants in our state, experts predict that electric bills will skyrocket and Kansans will be more dependent than ever on hostile foreign energy sources.
Call your state legislators today at 1-800-432-3924 and tell them our state's electricity must come from clean, affordable, reliable coal - America's energy future.

KANSAS HAS NO NEED TO IMPORT IT.
HERE, WE REPRINT AND REFUTE THE CONTENT OF A RECENT AD PRODUCED BY THE COAL FOLKS ...
CLAIM #1: "Why are these men smiling? (Russia's Putin, Venezuela's Chavez and Iran's Ahmadinejad) Because the recent decision by the Sebelius Administration means Kansas will import more natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela and Iran."
FALSE. Zero natural gas would be (or ever has been) imported from Russia, Venezuela or Iran.America has NEVER imported natural gas from these countries.Less than 1% of the natural gas consumed in this country comes from any source beyond North America.
Kansas produces more gas than it uses and exports much of it as a valuable source of jobs and tax payments.
