Coal power is controversial these days, although some say new plants are less environmentally destructive than older ones. Kansas recently blocked three new coal plants.

However, new support surfaced for a plant in Nevada recently. The state's republicans voted to endorse a coal-fired power plant in White Pine County, which is opening a new round of debate.

Eyewitness News spoke with the chairwoman of the Republican Party. She says the plant is important mainly for jobs and the economy.

As local attention turns to the controversy over the science of clean coal, there are new criticisms for other clean forms of energy. Reading between the lines -- whether they are power lines or something else -- the issue can be challenging.

1. No fool like a Republican fool

In the state that has the highest concentration of geothermal resources in the nation, the dinosaurs are looking to dig up their relatives and sacrifice them to the Fire Gods. Couldn't possibly use the wind available on the ridges of some of the 300 mountain ranges in the state either.
