Energy expert downplays coal technology proposed for American Falls

Coal-gasification plants, such as the one being considered near Pocatello, might not fare so well in Idaho, an energy expert told a legislative committee on Wednesday.

"It probably would not be a good fit for Idaho," said Tom Hewson, of Energy Ventures Analysis, Inc.

Hewson’s company serves as a consultant to energy companies and provides forecasts of the energy market. He spoke to members of the House Environment, Energy and Technology Committee at the request of Rep. George Eskridge, R-Dover. In Hewson’s opinion, pulverized coal plants, like the one proposed near Jerome, are a better fit for Idaho.
