Progress, maybe: Healy power plant permit moves one step forward

Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Editorial

The state’s decision last week to grant an air quality permit to restart the Healy Clean Coal Plant was an encouraging step toward eventually reducing the electricity bills that have been stinging Interior residents.

However, no one should install electric heaters at home in anticipation of success any time soon.

The permit still could be challenged in both administrative and legal proceedings. In fact, most people involved expect that will be the case. So it could be years before the Healy plant starts generating juice.
