OSTI ID:5056763
The author asserts that promoters of coal-slurry pipelines are unjustified in demanding federal eminent-domain powers. He analyzes arguments used by coal-slurry-pipeline advocates in detail and does not find them convincing enough to justify federal legislation. He notes the experience of constructing other pipelines and suggests that slurry pipelines could have an inflationary impact upon the economy. He also observes that slurry-coal rates be only slightly cheaper for utilities than rail rates. Finally, negative aspects of coal slurry pipelines are discussed.
