COAL: Va. power plant faces opposition on two fronts For Virginia lawmakers looking to boost the economic prospects of hard-luck Appalachia, the idea made sense: Build a coal-fired power plant in the heart of the state's coal-rich southwestern corner. So Richmond-based Dominion Energy, following a mandate in the 2007 Electric Utility Restructuring Act, proposed construction last year of a 585-megawatt power plant in Wise County at the Kentucky line, a place so steeped in mining history that the local newspaper is called The Coalfield Progress. But Dominion and other backers of the planned Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center are now facing strong opposition as foes of coal-fired power generation have joined local people concerned about mining's potential to destroy their beloved mountains.

Al Gore's fantasy energy challenge

Gore is like Moses, who has gone to the mountaintop to receive God's 11th commandment that thou shalt not burn fossil fuels. Unfortunately, our civilization was founded on the abundant energy fossil fuels offer. We can not simply undo that dependency in a decade as we near the top of a growth curve that was made possible by burning coal, oil and natural gas.

A boondoggle to end all boondoggles?

Al Gore's recent speech on energy was not bad as such speeches go. It says all the right things about the problems we face - things quite a few of us already know - and it makes us feel good to hear them said well and to a large audience. Whether that audience is capable of absorbing the message is another matter.
