KFX CALLS FOR NATIONAL LEGISLATION IN WAKE OF NEW CLEAN AIR AND MERCURY REGULATIONS
DENVER, March 15, 2005 -- KFx Inc. (Amex: KFX), today issued the following statement in response to the finalization of the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and Mercury regulation:
"Balancing clean air with the need and desire to use our domestic coal resources is a tough issue with many constituents and views. But for the energy industry to move forward and embrace environmental concerns, the most pressing need is not for debate it's for action. With these regulations the EPA has taken a strong first step forward and we applaud its efforts," said Ted Venners, CEO of KFx.
"We remain committed to helping the coal-fired industry comply with these standards while calling on Congress to pass similar, nationwide legislation. The adoption of such legislation would further drive the nation toward clean-energy delivery and would provide additional clarity for the power industry as it implements measures to meet emissions standards," Venners concluded.
