This informative report on the first clean coal, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, power plant proposed for Illinois. The project would provide 1500 construction and hundreds of permanent coal mining and powerplant jobs in what would be the most environmentally friendly coal plant in the world.

  • I live in Taylorville and I have yet to see anything of this sort even thought about being built. I was just curious what happened since may.

  • The plant's developers have asked the Illinois legislature for legislation that will help privately finance the project. It passed the Illinois Senate 48-0 but has been held up in the House by opposition from Attorney General Madigan and Speaker Madigan. The plant's developers are ready to move forward and it is hoped that a deal can be struck soon.

  • so the real problem is th EPA for setting unrealistic targets. what was wrong with the standards we had before?

  • Very interesting video... I live about 2 miles (in visual range) of where this plant will be. I can only imagine what this could do for the economy...

  • Good report. Thanks.
