Obama's EPA sues Kansas power company

This is awesome.  Apparently a company in Kansas has made major upgrades to its coal plant without also installing the latest pollution control technologies.  That's against the law.  So the Obama EPA is suing them to correct this.

What the EPA is asking for the following:

• Westar Energy has "to install and operate appropriate air pollution control technology in
  order to substantially reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and
  particulate matter emissions from the Jeffrey Energy Center."
• "... civil penalties up to the maximum amount authorized by law..."
• "... actions by the energy provider to mitigate the adverse effects alleged to have been caused by the violations..."  Which would basically mean paying for carbon offsets of the pollution they shouldn't have been generating over the last decade.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweet justice.
