Fort Collins, CO - A City At Odds With Itself - They Strive for Consensus

From The Coloradoan

The city of Fort Collins has a stake in both sides of a debate over mercury pollution.

While the city is part of a coalition of cities and counties advocating one set of proposed rules for state mercury regulations, it is also an owner of Platte River Power Authority, the operator of Rawhide Energy Station north of Fort Collins, which advocates a different proposal.

The local government coalition has pushed for a 90 percent reduction without a cap and trade program, while other proposals have included lesser reductions and the trading program.

A group of utilities and power providers, including PRPA, said there are other ways to achieve mercury reductions.

I like this article because it shows how compromise must come about.
