Political Factoid
"The Capitol Power Plant, the
largest single source of carbon
emissions in the nation's capital,
[is a] concrete example of the
government's inability* to green
its own turf."
| * |
Plans, previously approved to convert
the plant (for which Congress is
responsible) to burn natural gas instead
of the more expensive and air polluting
oil and coal, were torpedoed by the
Tea-Party Republicans' defunding
crusade in 2011.
