KANSAS CITY, Mo.: Sierra Club, KCP&L spar over 2007 agreement - Business Breaking News - MiamiHerald.com: "The Sierra Club has notified Kansas City Power & Light that the environmental group believes the utility has failed to honor the agreement that ended a dispute over construction of a coal-fired plant in northwest Missouri.

KCP&L, however, says it has fulfilled all the requirements of the 2007 agreement, which stemmed from the utility's Iatan 2 coal-fired plant in northern Platte County. In the pact, the Sierra Club agreed to drop a lawsuit seeking to block the plant, and KCP&L agreed to offset the plant's pollution by using more renewable energy and getting customers to use less electricity.

Sierra Club attorney Holly Bressett told The Kansas City Star on Thursday (http://bit.ly/14RravU ) that while KCP&L got the power plant, it has missed its goal for more renewable energy by nearly one third. She said the company has also failed to meet its energy efficiency goal.
