Madison lawyer piles victories
In the last four years, local Sierra Club attorney Bruce Nilles has stopped 58 coal-fired plants from being built in the United States. As a result of his work, energy companies have abandoned their plans, fearing going through the permitting process of getting a new coal plant built.
Nilles, 39, director of the organization's National Coal Campaign, has stopped plants in Kansas, Illinois, Florida, Texas and Nevada. He also had a hand in last month's settlement where the state of Wisconsin agreed not only to clean up UW-Madison's coal-fired Charter Street power plant but also to examine and possibly improve the operation of 13 other coal-burning plants it manages across the state.
He is in the process of fighting 54 more coal-burning plants in America

How about another nuke plant?
I agree. Say, sorry dude, but we have to give your power to someone else. maybe you can stay warm in your backyard compost pile!
But it’s clean and green, don’t they want green solutions?
Oh, I know! Send them to an Amish village.
Here in Kansas, our governor (not exactly legally) decided to stop a coal plant so she could get some national press. It didn’t get her much of that but did get her a lot of scornful statewide comments. Now she’s quitetly gone to the Repbublicans in the legislature and offered to allow a coal plant, just not as big as the one originally planned.
They say that like it is something to be proud of.
When the world finally realizes that AGW and CO2 causing GW is a scam, people like this guy had better hide from the masses who will be out to tar and feather them.
