OSTI ID:5900746
The sharp increases in the cost of coal transportation to electric utility markets via rail are examined, with consideration given to the possible effect of railroad deregulation proposals on coal transport costs. Against this background, the author examines the economics of coal slurry pipelines, as alternatives to rail transportation and how to finance such pipelines without risking undue impairment of the credit standing of the pipelines' major customers, electric utilities.
