Information contact: (330) 503-1407
Governor Ted Strickland did not get his lumps of coal liked he wanted this Christmas morning. Thanks to the The Ohio Environmental Council, American Municipal Power-Ohio (AMP-Ohio)cancelled plans to construct a proposed 1,000-megawatt coal-fired power plant on the Ohio River in Meigs County. Ever-growing costs doomed the plant, as cost projections grew from $2.5 billion just two years ago to close to $4 billion, today.
"Green Governor" Ted wanted this coal plant badly. He opening proposed and sought to build this plant. A coal plant that would have been the one of the most dirty air pollutioning plants in the state.
"Ted Strickland is not a green governor," said Dennis Spisak, Ohio Green Party candidate for Ohio Governor in 2010. "Ted Strickland talks a good green game plan, but his actions speak louder than words. Ted Strickland wants to continue to poison the air and water Ohioans use by building bigger and bigger dirty coal plants." Spisak added. "There is no such thing as clean coal, but the almighty coal lobbyists tell Ted a different and wrong story. We need to clean up Ohio's air and water by next Christmas, and we can only do that by electing myself as governor and sending Ted Strickland and his dirty coal plants to the sidelines." Spisak concluded.

For a guy who decries politicians who are all talk and no action, you sure seem ripe for hypocrisy.
