Conoco Seeks Guarantee for Ohio Coal Plant Investment
Conoco Coal Development officials pressed for protective legislation to guarantee cost recovery for a Noble County coal gasification project. ERDA chief Robert Ryan argued investors would not fund $250 million under existing laws, while Conoco seeks to shift gas costs to all East Ohio Gas customers. Construction could start May 1979, lasting about three years and creating around 1,000 jobs, with economic impact of $214 million in 1975 dollars. The bill, drafted by ERDA and Conoco lawyers, awaits General Assembly introduction before September session.
