Illinois energy group and union oppose coal switch
Members of the Illinois Energy Resources Commission and District 12 United Mine Workers challenge Commonwealth Edison plans to switch Powerton station from Illinois coal to Western coal. At a Carlinville hearing ordered by Gov. James Thompson, Sen. Kenneth V. Buzbee proposed allowing Edison to keep using Illinois coal while scrubbers are installed near Peoria to meet EPA standards. The debate centers on economic disruption for Illinois mines and coal suppliers in Randolph Perry and Macoupin counties.
