FutureGen moves on without Mattoon plant

This has not been discussed since 2009—it appears that many original benefituaries are no more.  This experiment will use oxy-combustion to burn coal with a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide to produce a carbon-dioxide waste that can be stored. 

Carbon dioxide emissions from the plant in western Illinois would be pumped through a 175-mile subterranean pipeline through Decatur and then down to Mattoon, where they would be sequestered deep underground in the same basin that the original FutureGen plant would have used to store emission
