Wichita area to host coal gas plant proposed by Panhandle Eastern
A Wichita plan would convert coal to gas for fuel using industrial revenue bonds issued by the city.

Water would come from Wichita's 30 million gallons of treated effluent, reducing ecological impact and prompting questions about using other plants’ effluent for manufacturing.
