Orange flames lick at the roof of the coal mine, heat building and visibility dropping as smoke begins to fill the underground passageway. Then, with the push of a few buttons on a hand-held remote, the flames flicker out, the smoke dissipates and the lights come on. The roar of fire is replaced by the trickle of nearby water.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Energy Department has announced
it is going ahead with the second phase of central Illinois' FutureGen
clean-coal project.
In announcing the agreement with FutureGen
Industrial Alliance on Feb. 4, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the
department is committed to demonstrating carbon capture and storage
technologies.
The FutureGen Industrial Alliance is a group of coal
and power companies planning to refit a coal-powered power plant in
Meredosia with technology that removes carbon dioxide from coal and
stores it underground. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas linked to
climate change. The project has $1 billion in federal funding.
The
alliance and the Energy Department claim the project will help pave the
way for other cleaner and more sustainable advanced coal-burning power
plants.
Initial plans to build a plant near Mattoon fell through.
