Michigan agency extends air permit for possible coal plant

摘要

The city-owned electric utility in Holland, Michigan, on Wednesday was given an additional 18 months by a state agency to decide if it should construct a 78-MW coal-fired power plant or choose a “more sustainable” option. The Holland Board of Public Works asked the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality for the extension earlier this year, saying it was uncertain whether it should go forward with the estimated 250 million dollars coal project (PCT 4/10).
