Kansas Dept of Health and Enviornment. The head, appointed by the Governor Sebelius is named Bremby. Bremby doesn't say much so Sebelius gets more press. The proposed plant was recommended to be approved by Bremby's staff (may have misspelled his name, don't care). His staff are qualified State employees, he isn't. Used a Supreme Court ruling to support his case which said that a unregulated "pollutant" such as carbon dioxide could be use as a reason to restrict something if "proven" to cause global warming, or health effects. Quotation marks are mine as I believe the CO2 hype is malarky. Kansas legislature passed bill to allow the plants, Sebilius vetoed it, that's probably what you heard. Not yet enough votes to override. Senate easily overrid it, House missed by one vote. Diesel and gasoline prices, IMO, have nothing to do with a shortage of oil. Crude and gasoline are traded on the open market -- the traders have run the price up, no law at present can prevent that, truckers will have to raise their prices or go broke, I see their point. No, none of this makes any sense. By the way, I have lived 3-5 miles away from the existing coal fired plant for nearly 30 years, directly in the path due to our prevailing 30 mph wind. Have heard no direct effects on anyone.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
