(Amazingly, the Globe's artcile has been completely censored and rewritten from what appears in my paper. They only give me the LAST QUARTER of the PIECE, readers! I mean, you talk about CENSORSHIP!!!)
And the QUOTE just before the PICKED-UP PART?
"The Conservation Law Foundation's.... Seth Kaplan... says it's also impossible to measure how much greenhouse gas is truly displaced by using fly ash."
And yet they are going to BASE a TAX SYSTEM on it!!!
Oh, America, if you allow these guys to get their greedy mitts into you, I will never forgive you.
WAKE UP and SMELL the FART MIST, Amurka!!
"Greenhouse credits for a coal plant?
Yeah, right, tell it to the people in Tennessee.
Please read: Global Warming Causes Global Cooling first.

Now, observe the AGENDA-PUSHING PROPAGANDISTS at work!!
State environmental officials say Dominion decided to build a fly ash recycling plant voluntarily in 2006 - when it wasn't considered regular business practice. That - and the fact that Brayton Point wasn't required by law to build the plant - persuaded them to conditionally deem it as "additional" under so-called "Filthy Five" rules, one of the nation's first to limit carbon dioxide from power plants and financially encourage them to develop cleaner technologies.
Now, those rules are being eclipsed by a 10-state pact called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and state officials say Brayton Point's fly ash credits can be converted into some of the initiative's allowances. They note they are giving the power plant less than half the credit it wants for fly ash recycling - and are requiring a review in 2010 to see if that should continue. State officials say they are reviewing the foundation's comment letter to see if fly ash recycling has become common business practice in recent years and take it into consideration when deciding on final approval.
Dominion, Brayton Point's owner, says their recycling plant is one of four in the country and state regulations allow them to get greenhouse gas credit for their fly ash plant.
