Environment - More on: State legislation re the financing of a coal-to-gas plant near Rockport close to passage

Updating this ILB entry from March 13th, Eric Bradner of the Evansville Courier & Press is reporting this afternoon:

The Indiana House this afternoon passed a bill that will have the Indiana Finance Authority act as a go-between, buying the $2 billion plant's pipeline-quality natural gas and selling it to Indiana utilities for the same price.

The 90-8 vote was the final legislative obstacle for Senate Bill 423, which already passed the Senate and now heads to Gov. Mitch Daniels' desk.

Daniels has strongly backed the plant developer Indiana Gasification LLC has planned near Rockport, Ind.
