coal carbon and fertilizer
When the bill got to the floor, Rep. Les Gara, a Democrat from Anchorage and somewhat of a rabble-rouser, proposed an amendment that would allow the bonds to be issued only if the new plant could be run with the same or less carbon emissions, per megawatt, as a nearby natural gas-fired plant. The amendment failed, with only minority Democrats supporting it.
I havent studied the arguments, but the idea seemed like something of a stretch, because the state doesnt currently regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Heres an AP story on it.
