Associated Press Writer RENO, Nev. (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the threat of global warming should preclude the construction of new coal-fired power plants anywhere in the world. The Nevada Democrat last month came out against three proposed major coal-fired plants in his home state, but on Saturday extended that opposition to any such new plants worldwide. He said each coal-fired plant burns 7 million tons of coal every year, spewing out pollutants that contribute to global warming. |
