==Westar and coal==
Westar Energy had plans to build a coal plant in Kansas; , the [[Westar Energy Kansas Plant]], however the unnamed plant has been on hold since December 2006. <ref>[http://tinyurl.com/37a5ue “Tracking New Coal-Fired Power Plants,”] National Energy Technology Lab, May 1, 2007, page 13. (Pdf)</ref>
In February, 2008, Westar Energy announced a new strategic plan that "embraces state and federal policies encouraging greater reliance on energy efficiency and the development of more transmission and renewable energy sources. It also calls for deferring as long as possible constructing a new conventional coal plant, but maintaining existing coal plants and making substantial investments in them to improve their environmental performance."<ref>[http://www.westarenergy.com/corp_com/contentmgt.nsf/resources/2008-2-22/$File/2008-2-22.pdf?openelement "Westar Energy publishes comprehensive energy plan,"] company press release, 2/22/08</ref>
