Coal-fired power plants provide half of this country's electricity.
Half. Considering coal is by far our cheapest fossil fuel, imagine how
expensive -- and unreliable -- electrical power would be if every
coal-fired plant in the United States were shut down and use of the
resource were banned.

Allegheny Energy has agreed to reroute part of the $1.3 billion power
line proposed for northern West Virginia in a deal that eliminates
major opposition from state Public Service Commission staff.
But the settlement, announced late Tuesday, does not include several
citizen groups and many residents who are working against the project.

The President and Chief Operating Officer of Appalachian Power says
they'll ask the Virginia State Corporation Commission to look again at
the company's proposal for a $2.23 billion clean coal power plant in
West Virginia.
On Monday, Virginia's Commission denied Appalachian Power's request to
build the plant in Mason County. "We'll provide some more detail to
address their concerns," Dana Waldo says of the appeal. "We put on, I
think, a very powerful case about the IGCC (Integrated Gasification
Combined Cycle) technology, the need for the power plant and the need
to use coal."
