We are including a number of different links to the United States Department of Energy report, authored by West Virginia University, which is the subject of this dispatch. All of them, at the time of this transmission, function, and should get you to the core document.
We are compelled to do so since the US Government's electronic libraries of documents related to energy issues has been, from our outside perspective, undergoing significant change and revision over the past few years, especially in recent months; and we here are determined to make certain the information we present remains accessible to our addressees, and to our readers on the West Virginia Coal Association web site.

We note, by way of introduction, that our US Government has changed the way it archives it's electronic files of information pertaining to energy. Consequently, some of the links we have provided in past reports to, especially, USDOE records of National Laboratory and USDOE-contracted research might not endure and remain viable, functional. That fact, combined with the sheer volume of information represented by our prior reports, as preserved on the West Virginia Coal Association web site, in their Research and Development archives, might lead to undesirable repetition.
We regret that potential, but, additionally, recognize that some of the information bears repeating.

Ormet will close, put 700 out of work | The Columbus Dispatch; "Ormet Corp. is shutting down and laying off most of its 700 workers, a blow to the economy of southeastern Ohio.The Hannibal-based aluminum smelter announced its decision yesterday afternoon, two days after the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved the company for part of the additional electricity subsidies that the company had called necessary to remain viable. Mike Tanchuk, Ormet’s CEO, said in a statement that the PUCO’s actions were merely a restructuring of existing aid, not the additional help the company desperately needed. He said the plant closing is partly a result of the state’s deregulation of the electricity market, which he blames for the dramatic rise in power bills";
