From the Lincoln Journal Star:
On June 2, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under President Obama’s Climate Action Plan, proposed a plan to cut carbon pollution from power plants.
This ambitious plan presents a great opportunity for the state of Nebraska. Under the plan, all states have to reach a goal of reducing carbon pollution, however they are given the flexibility to find the best ways to reach their goal. Nebraska has a unique opportunity because our state is the only state with public power and we have one of the nation’s best-rated wind resources.
