Kentucky Illinois coal slurry plan eyed for Florida pipeline
Project manager GL Madula says a 1500 mile coal slurry line to Florida could source from western Kentucky and southern Illinois with a central collection point and near Huntington, West Virginia as options. Estimated 2 billion dollar cost, service hoped for 1985 1986, and utilities including Florida Gas and Florida Power may share funding. Congress and railroad opposition loom, but leaders push for state leg action and eminent domain route.
