On Saturday's page E17, the Washington Post ran an Associated Press story on Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' veto of a bill that would have green-lighted two new coal-fired power plants.
Awesome. Global warming and clean energy are huge issues. Nice job, Washington Post.
So why won't they cover Virginia's debate over the proposed Wise County plant?
A search of the Post archives shows not a single news article or editorial on the Wise County plan in 2008 and just one op-ed. A few mentions of the proposed transmission line through Northern Virginia mostly focused on whether it should be above or below ground, not whether it's a boondoggle. And not a single reference to the efforts of Chap Peterson and CCAN to pass the Clean Energy Future Act.
I'm not saying the Washington Post is pro-coal or anti-environment. They're not. But Dominion has to love that the best coverage on Wise is being read mostly in coal country while environmentalists in Northern Virginia are in the dark.
