Sebelius issues statement on House action to sustain her veto of SB 148

The following statement is from Governor Kathleen Sebelius:

“This is good news for Kansas.

“We are at a critical period for energy policy in this state and this country. We must bridge the gap between our growing energy needs, and the time when carbon capturing technology is a commercial reality. We must move forward strategically – steering our state clear of the environmental, health and economic risks of massive new carbon emissions.

“I urge the Legislature to work with me on a new comprehensive energy policy – one that truly serves the needs of entire state – East and West.
