The Herald-Leader folks have done some good reporting about this on their blog, Pol Watchers. They confirmed that yes, Kentucky is the only state being considering for a coal-to-liquid plant. But there’s a separate synthetic natural gas facility under consideration.

I agree with Matt’s assessment about it “being kept nebulous to confuse the issue.”

Check out the comment below the article - someone said they spoke to a Peabody rep. and that Peabody wasn’t even considering anywhere else. Speculative, of course, but still interesting.

I was sad when Mark (bluegrassreport.org) decided to leave. Though not everyone always agreed with him, he definitely gave you something to think about.

BlueGrassRoots is by far the best (and maybe the only) political blog standing between us and the conservative rightwing. I simply wanted to tell you to keep up the good work. We have a link to BlueGrassRoots from our blog, blog.commonwealth-equality.org for our readers. I think it is critical that Kentucky have specific blogs related to its internal politics, and that as many people know about them as possible.

I just noticed that comments cannot be post at BlueGrassRoots, the email address listed is invalid, and most of the blog links no longer work. I hope you will correct this and maintain this wonderful blog.
