Slurry Pipeline Costs Jobs Warn Rail Chief
Norfolk Southern chairman Robert Claytor told a legislative subcommittee that a coal slurry pipeline would not lower Virginia coal costs enough to beat South African and Australian coal and would eliminate about 4,000 railroad jobs and 7,000 state jobs. Proponents argue it would reduce shipping costs and create port jobs, while opponents fear pollution, land needs, and zoning conflicts. The committee will hold more hearings in Richmond and Clinch Valley before a General Assembly recommendation.
