The plant would be located in rural Early County, about 80 miles northwest of Tallahassee, Fla."<BR/><BR/>Ref - <BR/>http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/5446830.html<BR/><BR/>What these guys want to do is string out utility companies and make it too expensive and/or business risky to continue to permit a coal plant. The reason is that when a utility company sticks it out and goes to court over the permit with the "conservation community", the enviros LOSE. Just like they did in the Dynergy case here.<BR/><BR/>Sorry guys.
