The plant was first scheduled to be shut down in 2018. State lawmakers approved a tax break in 2019 that had kept the facility active.
WV gave this plant tax breaks to burn coal for an unspecified length of time. The hydrogen thing is supposed to make you feel good about it.
So they’re going to continue burning coal until some unspecified point in the future when a new hydrogen-burning plant is built “next door”? Do I understand that right?
If they’re burning hydrogen, where does the carbon to make graphite come from? I don’t get the plan here.
not a lot of info in the article, i read it as they’re burning coal until a new “hydrogen facility” is constructed near by
