Power plant project spurs coal debate
Central Maine Morning Sentinel – Oct 14, 2007
Coal gasification plants may someday be part of the solution to global warming critics say but not yet and not here. Sorting out the dueling environmental claims is complicated because there are no existing plants quite like this one. For now the plan to build a $1. 5 billion gasification plant in this midcoast community has thrust Maine into a growing debate over the future of coal the nation’s most abundant and historically its dirtiest fossil fuel. A state review of the plan is perhaps a year or more down the road. But Wiscasset voters are already being asked to show their support at the polls Nov… The ability to store or sequester captured carbon such as by pumping it into abandoned oil wells or bedrock formations would be a major breakthrough in the fight against global warming. But large-scale storage is still years away and the prospects for doing it in Maine are uncertain. “There may be sequestration sites here in the area but they’re not proven today” said Sarah Forbes a Maine-based energy and climate change consultant with Potomac-Hudson Engineering. “The geology in this area has not been looked at in this way. “Even coal’s critics concede gasification has environmental advantages over conventional plants. The fact that it is more expensive – plants generally cost $2 billion to $3 billion – has so far limited the number of the plants being built around the country. How aggressively to move forward with the gasification technology is hotly debated among scientists and policy makers around the country.
