HENDERSON, Ky. (AP) - Two environmental groups are suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over three proposed Kentucky power plants.
The Sierra Club and Evansville, Ind.-based Valley Watch say the government agency failed in its duty to curb air pollution by halting the progress of the projects.
The plants named in the suit are the Cash Creek coal gasification plant in Henderson; Peabody and ConocoPhillip's NewGas coal gasification project in Muhlenberg County; and East Kentucky Power's Smith 1 plant in Clark County.
The Gleaner in Henderson reports that the suit was filed this week in Washington.
It says the plants would be constructed in areas the EPA has "acknowledged does not meet Clear Air Act requirements."
EPA spokeswoman Cathy Milbourn did not return an e-mail message seeking comment Friday.

Just another example of non-profit groups with too much money and time on their hands. Let them pay taxes and try to live like the miners of Eastern Kentucky, they would change their minds in a heart beat. Leave us alone, let us work, go away and don't come back.

It is time for all of us to get on the Stop OBAMA Express, before we are all in the dark. He is not a democrat he is socialist. Our party has went to far left and it is time the true democrats take it back.

This mess with coal was created by Obama. He puts the brakes on the nwp21 permits, and sent the EPA in to hold up permits. We were rolling along just fine until he started messing things up in Eastern Ky. We do need his agenda and if you had any sense you wouldn't want it either. The Seira Club is a socialist group that could care less about this nation or its people.
