I smell rats. Seriously, does anybody really think that a democrat senator would do *anything* for principle?

So what’s in it for Harry? Perhaps he or his buddies have invested in some coal plant company that uses a cleaner burning, but more expensive system, like a plasma furnace, and he doesn’t want competition in the State. Maybe he is invested up to his eyebrows in gas burning plants. Maybe he wants to stick it to the coal mining companies or the railroads.

Whatever, I give you odds that dirty Harry has an angle.

He, like his comrades, have no more principles than perverted priests at a Cub Scout camp.

Well, there IS a new powerplant being constructed by Newmont Gold (mining company) in NE Nevada. Any electricity being generated above and beyond Newmont's needs are supposedly to be sold to the grid for public use. I'll have to check, but it may be a coal-fired plant. It's about 70% finished IIRC.
Makes ya think....

He probably owns or controls land where they want to build. They haven't paid him enough to shutdown his demagoguery.
