The plant will burn the low-grade coal still buried beneath many a nearby ghost town, but future WEST plants might also use oil, natural gas or, in water-parched Southern California, nuclear reactors that will convert salt water to fresh while they generate electricity.

Moreover, the state legislature would have to enact new laws making it a misdemeanor to ignore asterisks...
