Bulletin...
Earthjustice and its Kansas allies today confronted big coal in the Kansas
State Supreme Court, where the future of coal-fired energy is
being contested. The Sunflower power plant expansion had been
rejected by state regulators on the basis of its global warming
impact. Sunflower's appeal of that rejection is being challenged
in court by Earthjustice.

melting, Earthjustice is taking on global warming's causes and
impacts. Read here to explore the breadth of
