Playing in the Sandbox... According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 28.73 percent of our electric power (4,486 GWh) in Illinois is produced by coal. The other major sources are nuclear, 8,713 GWh and Natural Gas, 1,050 GWh.
I recorded this giant Caterpillar vehicle moving coal around the Midwest Generation Will County Station in Romeoville, IL. Anyone who played with Tonka Trucks in the sandbox will experience memory recall after seeing a scene like this… regardless of what you think about coal, clean or otherwise. It makes you think before flipping that switch.
