Pristine-M Adds ~$11.50/Ton of Gross Margin To Low-Grade Coal.
Wyoming passes bill in Senate.
https://oilcity.news/general/2020/03/04/coal-marketing-program1/
Are you sure?? SEC Filing either Friday or Monday. Will get more accurate details on schedule of company plans there.
Talks most likely about exports at meeting.
In April, @CCTCIinc is expected to finish construction of a 3 ton/hour coal-treating plant (CCTC) Pristine-M process can transform the alternative energy landscape and coal industry, simultaneously. In our view, CCTC is nearing commercialization of one of the most exciting, and potentially important, technological advances seen in years. This advance could be worth billions, and conservatively, create tremendous upside.

Negotiations are ongoing and there are many bills in process.
I am surprised that a (R) majority House in Wyoming 51-9 let this slide unless someone has bigger plans and they killed it to allow another amendment to be added later.
My own thought. Wyoming also has a Majority Senate
Funny thing is Wyoming quality department is passing out permits to
mine , opening new mines while other places are trying to block transportation of mined goods from Wyoming? NONSENSE. This legislation on the transport of mineral resources and mines getting permit renewals has everything to do with @CCTCinc if you read their tweets on Twitter.
This also proves my point in previous posts about the manipulation of coal marketplace that is going on.

************ Something " Wonderful " ************
@CCTCinc SEC filing on March 6th to 12th will give more inside detail with more accurate schedule update on relevant details to company progress of plant development that is actually relevant to shareholders.
I ignore posts that don't have anything to do with Clean Coal technologies, Inc.
Totally agree X22. Flip3. You're absolutely right! Everything you said before is true and it would be unfair not to recognize CCTI current positioning. That is all that matters here! My advice to newcomers has not changed. If they are looking to invest in a technology company such as CCTI @CCTCinc, They would best be served going to clean coal technologies inc website and checkout their homepage and follow them on twitter cause this is where actual progress updates and facts occur. I do not follow or pay attention anti-CCTI postings for obvious reasons.You're right, It does not matter whether it takes them 2 yrs 4 years or 14. As long as they progress.( Total waste of my time) GOV. Mark Gordon met with Aiden the other day! Would have liked to be the fly on the wall there! can you imagine the context of the conversation that took place? I can! The upcoming meet will be interesting. My kinda group - 18 holes
India’s future energy options all add up to coal, agree the experts
Panelists including a government representative and a member of the chief policy think tank used by Narendra Modi agreed coal will continue as the staple source of Indian power for next 50 years and technology should be employed to "clean it" say's MODI. Coal India is partnering with Clean Coal Technologies Inc.

Question : How does local and state politics affect CCTI Success?
CFO Aiden Neary just tweeted yesterday about his meeting at Wyoming State capital with GOV Gordon. Aiden thinks it has relevant importance to the company and shareholder success.
Same with his meeting with New UW Director VP Peabody carbon capture Director.
Many of us agree! Bet on it.
Trump meeting with PM MODI of India on trade. Not much to talk about except Coal (clean coal technology) , Energy security and planting trees.
Included in Gov. Mark Gordon’s budget recommendations were two key provisions that will help mineral industries, which means they will help Campbell County and the rest of the state.
He has asked for $25 million to establish the Energy Commercialization Program. Its purpose is to support research to speed along technologies that advance zero or net-negative carbon uses for coal and other fossil fuels.
Despite efforts like the Integrated Test Center at Dry Fork Station and continuing research at the School of Energy Resources at the University of Wyoming, the state remains behind the curve in being able to point to affordable technologies that can be implemented to ensure that coal and other fossil fuels can be used with no emissions. Without those, the country and much of the rest of the world will continue to abandon fossil fuel use as their worries about climate change grow.
That it becomes a state problem is the fault of the coal companies, who myopically ignored the tea leaves of change more than a decade ago. To keep their profitability, they should have invested in research to keep their product viable. They did not, and here we are today fighting with declining budgets because communities and the state — also myopically — tied their futures to one industry.
Gordon hopes the Energy Commercialization Program will bring a coordinated approach to efforts. We hope he’s right. We need action and advancement that belies the typical bureaucratic quagmire of slow action and even slower progress.
“I cannot be more emphatic,” the governor said in his State of the State address earlier in the week. “Time is of the essence. We must act now to prevent coal mines from closing.”
He also called for a $1 million allocation that could be used to defend the energy industry and to support planning by Wyoming communities.
The Legislature should support his recommendations — and his plea for speed, lest coal mines become this century’s equivalent of livery stables.
I had to sift through all of the BS to get to the facts like you BBB. I have the time too.

She was VP of Peabody energy. Nice!
I believe Peabody Energy is in India now. Does it mean something?
Maybe or maybe not! One thing is for certain though, She knows the coal business and all the major players!
Appreciate your positive energy also. My kind of crowd! The state of Wyoming has beefed up their funding to the university to help save PRB resource and their is no doubt the technology works.
Will be hearing more in a few weeks
MODI meeting with Trump in India later this month..
The business end of the coal lobby met at the Southern African Coal Conference in Cape Town last week. Thabo Mokoena of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy was with them and, as expected, urged companies to invest in “clean coal”. This is a message that the coal lobby is pleased to hear since it came from them in the first place. And it is repeated in the department’s 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for electricity, published in October, a document that defies rationality in its determination to keep coal on the road.
At the IRP’s core are a number of decisions, the most startling of which is “Decision 3” which says that Eskom should be allowed to break the law: “Shutting down of MES non-compliant power plants” is “not recommended”. MES are minimum emission standards, mandated by the Air Quality Act of 2004, which put a legal limit on how much sulphur, nitrogen and particulate pollution a plant may put into the air.
Apart from being dirty, coal is costly. The IRP is based on modelling that selects technologies to create the “least cost” future power system. Since about 2014, renewables have been cheaper than new coal. The IRP 2019 therefore has to “force” 1,500MW of new coal-fired power into the plan of what to build between now and 2030. That dirty power will add something like R45-billion to the cost of the system by 2050.
Beyond 2030, however, the department seems to envisage burning coal into the next century. Never mind the climate crisis. According to Decision 6: “South Africa should not sterilise the development of its coal resources for purposes of power generation, instead all new coal power projects must be based on high efficiency, low emission technologies [HELE] and other cleaner coal technologies”. This does not apply to the 1,500MW to be built before 2030.
The IRP says, “HELE coal technologies including underground coal gasification, integrated gasification combined cycle, carbon capture utilisation and storage, ultra-supercritical, super-critical and similar technologies are preferred for the exploitation of our coal resources”. Unfortunately, these “clean coal” technologies are even more expensive, add to the enormous resource consumption of coal-fired generation, and either don’t work or make little difference to the harm done to health and the environment.
Flue gas desulphurisation (FGD), a standard technology that actually does work in reducing health impacts, is not mentioned in this list. This is what is needed to make Eskom comply with the MES for sulphur dioxide but Eskom says it is too costly. It is to be installed at Kusile and Medupi, but the IRP shows no plan to install FGD at any of the other 13 plants. Decision 3, says government, will “support Eskom to comply with MES over time” but, it seems, not with the MES for sulphur dioxide.
FGD is an expensive but standard technology. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) barely exists. There are only 19 working carbon capture projects around the world.
“You have to be very careful how you’re deregulating the transmission system,” University of Wyoming economist Rob Godby said Tuesday. “Partial deregulation potentially leads to a lot of unintended consequences that could make people worse off when you’re trying to protect a particular sector — in this case the coal-fired power plants, workers and the coal production that supports it.”
Late amendments to the bill introduced last week sought to alleviate potential price hikes on ratepayers, while also providing sufficient customer bases to new owners.
https://thesheridanpress.com/119999/coal-marketing-bill-would-allow-governor-to-promote-wyoming-coal/
Wyomings Coal Power generaion Future..
One such amendment written by Glenrock Energy and the Wyoming Industrial Energy Consumers could open up direct sales between these coal-fired facilities’ new owner and industrial scale utilities capable of delivering one megawatt of power or greater.
At the same time, it would offer utilities the latitude to bundle energy generated by those plants with renewables or other energy sources to stabilize price fluctuations that could come from the loss of a significant customer.
Thor Nelson, an attorney for Holland and Hart representing the Wyoming Industrial Energy Consumers, called the amendment an “economic opportunity” for the state and for the utility industry.
Under the new amendment, the state’s coal utility structure would come to resemble Utah’s. In Utah, an industrial customer can subscribe to a large renewable project, and the utility can bundle that project with another, reliable source. The change is designed with the needs of clients like data centers or other large energy consumers in mind. Ideally, the bill could create a pathway for a newer, high-need clientele who could help bolster the viability of the state’s coal-fired power plants.
Consumers would also be protected through a threetier fee schedule covering the cost of purchasing the energy from the plant, as well as fees covering the backup service and any additional costs the utility, like Rocky Mountain Power, might incur.
Though several utilities expressed concern over larger clients purchasing energy on an industrial scale and impacting rates for consumers, the amendment passed Thursday. If the bill becomes law, it would allow investor-owned utilities to purchase coal energy, albeit only within a plant’s existing service area.
An additional revision to the bill considered but not passed during Thursday’s committee meeting would have enabled new owners to expand their customer base and tap into multiple service territories.
lawmakers ultimately advanced the bill Thursday.

"Knowledge is Power"
https://www.powermag.com/doe-announces-additional-64-million-for-clean-coal-projects/
Secretary Dan Brouillette on Feb. 7 announced the money would be part of the DOE’s “Coal FIRST Initiative,” telling the audience at an Atlantic Council meeting Friday in Washington, D.C., that the program is designed to “produce more coal power more efficiently and transform it into a near zero-emission energy source.”
1.7 Billion people gained access to electricity for the first time in their lives starting in 1990-2010.93% of them recieved it thru coal power infrastructure. We paid trillions of dollars for it.
Changes towards "cleaner" options such as renewable energy like Solar and Wind Infrastructure can be expensive and reduce energy security. Most renewables sources of energy like wind and solar are not consistant or cannot maintain a consistant "BASELOAD" and are either not predictable or dispatchable because infrastructure does not exist yet. They are still designing a first of its kind battery farm and choosing things like which type of BATTERIES to use like ACID, Sulfuric, Lithium.Tough choice for GREEN activists. Expensive too, meaning that tens of thousands if not millions of disposable BATTERIES would have to be used to store energy and then battery replacement is neccessary after time which allows for more part replacement costs and maintenance.Yes, The Green NEW deal is quite an undertaking and an expensive one.
Another consideration in integrating an entire renewable infrastructure is our countrys savings account????
As we all know but politicians seem to not care about is the fact that Congress has created a 23 trillion dollar debt based on overspending and subsidizing through taxation to fund renewables. What I find interesting is most average people think renewables are cheap to build and maintain. Affordable they say! NO, not cheap.The federal GOVT is footing 1/4-1/3 the cost to build. This myth that renewables are clean is just that too. A "MYTH". Until renewables can support the economys baseload of power, Coal power will remain in the mix of our energy system. They are simply not near enough ready just in design only to secure our power Grid and should not be trusted completely either at any time. There is just too much uncertainty and you can't trust all the crap you read about it on the internet. There is no public debates. Never a complete explanation you know, And NEVER a PRICE TAG. Thats like taboo to tell you how much money they want to steal from the taxpayers!
And now we have a new emerging technology that was just developed and validated by the University of Wyoming and Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. They have designed and built a machine that can make dirty raw ugly coal into a dust-free rock that burns much more efficiently than before. And it takes less coal to get much higher efficiency. They want China Russia India and Asia to use their process immediately to cut global carbon emissions. They even want to ship our lower sulfur coal (after CCTI processes it) abroad to places like China or India because Wyoming and Montana coal has lower sulfur content than China. Meaning we could cut carbon emissions way down immediately around the world! But, the groups like Sierra club and Green peace do not want any coal to be shipped anywhere. Like washington State who recently blocked Millenium Bulk terminals a water permit even though they know we have a dust free technology process available that will solve the concerns.
The matter is sitting in front of the supreme court in DC right now. China and India and Russia want coal so I guess if climate activists want cleaner air then they better allow our coal to be exported to Asia. This lowers shipping cost of PRB coal also making it more affordable energy. You see all this good stuff that Clean Coal Technologies has going for them just infuriates the green new deal people. They lose the argument you see.
Whats really going on behind closed doors with these climate activists and green new deal coordinators is a pay to play for profit scheme in which one group of people or multiple organizations manipulate the marketplace (PacifiCorp)Berkshire Hathaway companies who are trying to push their renewables through by blocking all coal related product.
Having congress change laws and create new ones hurt one industry and make life easy for another. This in turn can make a company or break it. Like the regulations on coal industry from 2009-2016. These regulations made it very expensive for the coal producers to be cost effective but because regulations and expediant operational permits were implimented, The LNG producers flourished in an expediant way!

Aiden Neary, Clean Coal Technologies, Inc., USA, discusses how the implementation of pre-combustion solutions make coal more environmentally responsible during its period in transit from mine to end energy user
In 2018, thermal coal imports into India rose 19% to 172 million t, showing the fastest pace of growth since 2014. Indonesia accounted for 61% of India’s thermal coal imports, while South Africa and the US accounted for a combined total of 29%. During the same period, China imported 281 million toe of coal including thermal, metallurgical and anthracite. Domestic output in China also increased in 2018 by an additional 100 million toe vs 2017. Japan imported 210 million t of coal in 2018 (it imports 99% of all coal that it uses). Australia exported 61% of Japan's numbers, while Indonesia, Russia and North America accounted for another 35%. All indicators show that despite increases in the use of renewable energy, there will continue to be a growing demand for coal. In all of these cases, coal is being transported by rail and sea.
Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. has a proven technology that does two key things in the fight to ensure a more environmentally responsible use of coal. n It reduces the amount of coal consumed by the power plant for the same level of energy production. The lower ranked coal is beneficiated at the mine mouth to produce a better quality coal, which in turn leads to less coal being transported. So, for example, instead of transporting 3 million t of 8300 Btu coal, Clean Coal Technologies Pristine M™ beneficiates that coal at the mine and upgrades it to approximately 11 000+ Btu. Therefore, the mine needs to transport 2 million t of the upgraded coal in order to meet the energy producers' needs. There is an immediate 33% reduction in the transportation of coal. n The patented process of Pristine M coats the upgraded coal with a layer of heavy hydrocarbons. This step not only stabilises the processed coal that makes it hydrophobic but, as a consequence, produces a dust-free end product for transportation. The key concern of coal dust loss during transportation has been eliminated.
Testing Q2
Would it be safe to say that the company's prerogative is to develop technology or strive for perfection or even just to try to succeed, for one to pursue one's dream is not lowly or bad even when we all know life is not perfect? Even though for years,CCTI had to endure long and sometimes painful legislative action by regulations placed on the coal industry and rediculous climate groups who only serve themselves with no interest in pursuing related technologies that are related to the industry and product! Also, inaction from congress and other governing bodies that regulate the Energy industry. I have seen long strides of advancement from Clean Coal technologies Inc. From a dust-free coal rock to higher efficiency standards implemented. Increase of efficiency by 33%. No small feat! Now, they want to expand their development of bi-product extraction within the same facility! And other states and company's like WV ( Ramaco ) are getting in on the action that further solidify the company's vision and intention. This is the company's prerogative.
Analogy's and hit pieces serve no relevancy and place no bearing on Clean Coal Technologies Inc or their positions. I can name many company's, hundreds of thousands just in US that have horrible management! They have gained success through all their trials and just plain guts! They have one thing in common: One leader that is very well educated and knows the game very well who is committed and will not take no or it can't be done for an answer. It's not logical. It takes a lot more than guessing or speculating to succeed. It takes Guts and hard work ethics. Not skepticism! but a visionary.
And Wyoming and Montana,Virginia ,Utah and many other states and country's are on board with the same vision. With all the resistance they endure, They march on!
Gordon started the Power Wyoming planning effort in 2019 to forecast multiple scenarios for future energy markets and this year he is requesting $25 million from the legislature for the Energy Commercialization Program.
Media keeps reporting these 3 mines were closed down when Cloud Peak sold their assets to NTEC but NTEC can operate the mines under Cloud peaks permits and are claiming sovereign immunity which could could allow NTEC to avoid taxes! LOL.
One item high on Godby’s watch list is the unprecedented case of a coal company owned by a sovereign nation operating mines on U.S. soil.
The Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC) was created by the Navajo Nation to operate mines within its boundaries.
But in 2019, the company acquired Cloud Peak Energy’s Cordero Rojo and Antelope mines in the Powder River Basin as well as mines in Montana.
At the Powder River Basin Resource Council, an organization dedicated to advocating for responsible energy development in the basin, staff attorney Shannon Anderson has kept a close eye on the NTEC situation.
“There’s a real concern and a practical problem for those of us in Wyoming with this company operating the mines and potentially owning them,” Anderson said. “If they maintain sovereign immunity, it may block legal redress on the part of citizens, neighbors, workers and government entities trying to collect taxes and royalties.”
While the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality has yet to approve permits for the company, NTEC is operating the mines under Cloud Peak’s permits, which Anderson said is problematic as well.
“Cloud Peak is in bankruptcy right now, doesn’t have any assets and isn’t really a company that can be held responsible either,” she explained. “(NTEC) can kind of operate under Cloud Peak’s permits forever.” NTEC has agreement to repay taxes on mines owed. Back in business.

Wyoming Energy Future
The new owner of three Powder River Basin coal mines says it has established an agreement with the U.S. Interior Department to pay overdue mineral production taxes back to the federal government in installments, according to a statement from the company in response to a Star-Tribune article published last week.
Navajo Transitional Energy Company assumed ownership of the Antelope and Cordero Rojo mines in Wyoming and the Spring Creek mine in Montana from bankrupt coal firm Cloud Peak Energy last year. As part of the sale agreement, NTEC agreed to take responsibility for unpaid royalties accumulated “through an installment payment plan.”

Clean Coal Technologies and India
Increasing demand-The World Coal Association
The growth of energy demand in India is quite staggering. Its economy is predicted to continue to grow at an annual average rate of 6.5% through to 2040 and as a result, energy demand is projected to triple over that period.
Renewables alone cannot meet these needs. This is why 40 GW of coal-fired capacity is currently under construction. Further capacity additions are planned to meet increasing demand, including peak loads, and to ensure reliability with more dispatchable capacity.
The Indian government has also recently announced the intention to increase national coal capacity from 194.44 t to 238 GW by 2027.
Coal in India’s energy production
Growing manufacturing supported by the ‘Make in India’ programme, widespread cooling system use and increased energy access – 180 million Indians are expected to gain electricity access by 2040 – will help to shape an ever-changing story over the coming years.
Yet, there is no question that coal is the dominant source of electricity in India – in 2018, it accounted for 74% of supply and will still represent almost half of electricity generation in 2040.
Despite the surge of renewables, both electricity demand and generation from coal in India are expected to grow significantly over the next 25 years.

Coal to liquid. Just like @CCTCinc is developing in PRB, Virginia is too planning a 1.2 billion dollar project.

Domestic Synthetic Fuels is investing $1.2 billion to construct a coal-to-liquids plant that will use natural gas and West Virginia coal to produce a half a million gallons of fuel a day. That coal will be transported on Jones Act barges, supporting additional jobs beyond the 260 the project anticipates creating. Democrat lawmakers are blocking commerce trade of coal to liquid energy in Virginia just like they have blocked the west Coast ports for shipping coal to Asia past 7 years.
https://www.fairfieldsuntimes.com/news/state/gazette-opinion-montana-wyoming-right-to-fight-for-coal-port/article_27082b7e-275c-5fcd-aa3a-667757af2c16.html
This nonsense must stop! We want a strong economy and energy exports are a big part of that.
Those who want to stop coal from being consumed are happy with the ruling from the Washington state courts which has stopped the ports. Those who stand against coal believe the courts should rule on coal. In other words, stop the coal, stop the problem.
Like so many things, that's too simple of an equation, and it's not the truth.
This is really not a fight about coal. It's about whether a state can manipulate a federal law to deny commerce with another state. It's not about coal; it's about the law.
blocking shipping of LOW-Sulfer coal to Asia will NOT! stop China and India from consuming coal! In what is literally a decades-long fight, the state of Montana, along with Wyoming, wants the United States Supreme Court to rule on the controversial plan to put coal ports in Washington for easier export to places like Japan and India.
If they really want to help fight these emissions then companies like Clean Coal technologies Inc must be implimented in those countrys to reduce the Global emissions. Also Powder River basin low sulfer coal will help in itself. Lets hope the Supreme Court in DC can figure this one out.https://www.wvnews.com/statejournal/news/ramaco-plans-to-open-charleston-based-facility-for-coal-research/article_e4c24ab3-c9bc-5cb3-a175-c8468ce8b832.html
Blocking coal all together from east coast to west coast is not about climate change, Its about replacing one energy industry with another
for development and personal profit schemes.
Ignoring technology that can solve the problems with coal is not exceptable. Since when do Americans ignore technology development? Never.
Just a suggestion since others opinion say going on an upper echelon of brokerage would not make a difference. So, What do we have to lose? All they would have to do is an ICO, start mining coins and offer them! What do they have to lose? Nothing. Mostly gains.

“Our globe is facing a climate crisis, and it is imperative that we begin immediately to address carbon emissions,” Gordon said.
The governor noted Washington’s carbon emissions would be lower through use of Powder River Basin coal than it would be through other markets.
Gordon also brought up investment in carbon capture technologies as an important way to reduce emissions, even mentioning a call to action from teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg.
“The most important aspect of this ... is that we need to start actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,” Gordon said.
Gordon mentioned efforts within the University of Wyoming’s Energy Resources Council to research and develop such technologies. He added the state has also been in talks with Rocky Mountain Power to gauge its interest in these technologies.

The fat cats on Wall Street would love for you to think that coal is dead.
But that couldn't be farther from the truth...
320 billion tons of proved world Coal reserves are low-rank coals (LRC) which is the coal best suited for CCTC’s Pristine M technology.
“Effective and economically viable technology is the only solution to help developing nations like CHINA for example to use coal more efficiently and in a more environmentally responsible manner. CCTI is commercializing an affordable and proven technology to help mitigate the harmful effects of the continued use of coal. ” Globally!.
Robin Eves, CEO of CCTI
The patented process includes a modular design that allows the plant to be scaled to commercially viable processing levels.
Work is underway to establish a new test facility in Wyoming that will incorporate efficiencies identified in the 1st test facility as well as those identified by the University. The new location will in addition allow CCTI to test international coal.
By improving coal using CCTI technologies, mine owners will be able to take advantage of the pricing arbitrage between low and higher ranked coal as well as make a significant contribution to lowering the impact on the environment of using lower ranked coal. @CCTC

Advanced clean coal technologies options could provide promising solutions for reducing CO2 emissions by improving energy efficiencies.
China agrees to buy 50 Billion dollars of U S coal -- including metallurgical coal -$18.5 billion in 2020 and $33.9 billion in 2021 as part of Newly signed phase one trade deal with U S. That's a lot of coal! Australia ships theirs to China too! I guess that's why they are building more plants in China.
You think this will be in the news?

The North Antelope Rochelle coal mine in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming, US, is currently the world's largest coal mine by reserve. The mine was estimated to contain more than 2.3 billion tonnes of recoverable coal as of December 2012. 8800 BTU/lb
I know.
Excellent move by Governor Gordan. You might find this research interesting as well involving Gordan.

Gov. Mark Gordon is investigating and filing action.
Under Investigation: Manipulation of Market and industry for control of power GRID for engineered Profiteering Schemes related to PACIFICORP and Berkshire Hathaway and its little companies!
CHEYENNE — Governor Mark Gordon announced today that he has directed resources to the Wyoming Public Service Commission (PSC) to ensure a robust analysis of the recently filed Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) by Rocky Mountain Power. The Resource Plan is significant because it proposes to close several coal-fired power units early, meaning a loss of employment in Wyoming.
“Because the IRP filed by Rocky Mountain Power will significantly impact the state of Wyoming and her workers, it is critical that we have a full understanding of how the company reached its conclusions, and whether the analysis that was conducted was correct, thorough and unbiased,” Governor Gordon said.
Earlier this Fall, Rocky Mountain Power filed its IRP, which sets out the company’s short and long-term plans for meeting the electric needs of their customers in a six state area – including much of Wyoming. Elements of the plan include the early closure of several coal-fired generating units in Wyoming, particularly Naughton, near Kemmerer, and Jim Bridger near Rock Springs. Rocky Mountain also plans to invest in more renewable energy, including wind farms, solar installations and batteries in Wyoming.
Note:
PacifiCorp owns Rocky Mountain power.
Berkshire Hathaway Owns many Solar and Wind Company's that want to make Money and they will shut down as many coal operations to get what they want!
This could be criminal.
Manipulation of Market and industry by control of power GRID for engineered Profiteering Schemes by Berkshire Hathaway and its subsiderary's. PacifiCorp and Rocky mountain Power are implicated.
As I stated before : Forcing out an entire energy industry by manipulating markets for personal gain and not allowing or giving Clean coal Technologies a chance to solve critical issues is just plain Criminal
To assist them in choosing the action contemplated in the IRP, Rocky Mountain Power relied upon various data sources and modeling efforts. On November 13, 2019, the PSC issued an Order Initiating Investigation, setting a public hearing for May 5 – 6, 2020, where the Commission will hear more information concerning the IRP and the data supporting it.
At the Governor’s direction the PSC it will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking experienced individuals or entities to provide intensive expert analysis of the data and modeling assumptions used by Rocky Mountain Power. The analysis provided as a result of this RFP will enhance the amount of information available to the PSC.
The Governor, under his budgetary authority, will provide the funding necessary for the Commission to issue the RFP and obtain the information it needs to properly analyze the IRP.
Under Investigation: Manipulation of Market and industry by control of power GRID for engineered Profiteering Schemes!
