-- it’s America’s best-kept energy secret. Just beneath its surface lies a 1,000-year supply of coal. It is home to the third largest gasification plant in the world -- the only commercial-scale coal gasification plant in the United States. State-of-the-art power plants have 4.5 gigawatts of electric generating capacity and are some of the most efficient and reliable in the nation. Energy, real estate costs and taxes are some of the lowest in the country. Combine those factors with its people – highly educated and instilled with a Midwestern work ethic – and its business-friendly economic and regulatory climate, and you’ve discovered the key to a powerful energy treasure chest that’s ready to be opened.
