| Abstract |
A survey was made of 808 fuel-related facilities ranging from coal and uranium mines and electric powerplants to storage and transportation projects, planned, proposed or under construction in all states west of the Mississippi River. It covers new construction as well as expansion of existing coal mines, electric powerplants, coal conversion and waste-to-fuel plants, oil shale projects, tar sands projects, geothermal facilities, coal slurry, petroleum, and natural gas pipelines, railroads needed for fuels development, terminal facilities, uranium mines, mills, and enrichment facilities, oil refineries, and natural gas processing plants and storage facilities. Projects are listed by category and by state, and the probable location of each is plotted on state maps. Information is given if known on the company involved, capacity, technology, water requirements and source, and, for coal mines, coal analysis, seam thickness, and current status of development. |
