Coal/Coke Plant Possibility For Eastern Kentucky

Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford recently returned from Knoxville, where he met with Sun Coke Energy officials to discuss the possibility of bringing a coal/coke plant to our region.

The mountains are full of metallurgical coal, a more pure, harder type of coal with higher BTU levels, more efficient than other types and is used to make steel.

Pike County officials say they're finishing a coal-to-liquid fuel plant study with hopes of bringing a new plant to the area soon. Sun Coke Energy is owned by Sunoco.
