What the CEO failed to say is over the last three years Earthjustice has been working in Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) proceedings to ensure that KCP&L fully and fairly analyzes the costs of its aging coal units as compared to cleaner, lower cost alternatives.

No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)  
Alaska Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
