Forget about the new power plant along the Ohio River

American Municipal Power has pulled the plug on plans to build a gas-fired power plant along the Ohio River, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Instead, AMP will buy a power plant already under construction.

AMP first planned to build a coal-fired power plant in Meigs County, Ohio, but quickly learned that it's as easy getting permits for one of those as it is to get one for a nuclear waste dump. So it went with gas. When that didn't work, it was bye-bye Meigs County.
