Our son Dan arrived on Mon. for a short visit. Wed. we toured the Freedom coal mine the Antelope Valley Power Plant and the Dakota Gasification Plant. Freedom coal mine supplies coal for the power plant and the gasification plant both owned by Basin Elec. Power cooperative. The power plant has the capacity to generate 900 mega watts of elec. The gasification plant produces enough synthetic natural gas to heat 400 thousand homes all year long. The gas is of the same quality as regular natural gas and is put into a pipe line and co mingled . They also produce Anhydrous ammonia, xenon, argon, krypton as well as co2 that is piped to Canada and injected into the oil fields to nearly triple their daily production. The coal mine returns the land to the original topography as well as restores all wet lands and is better land production wise when they are through with it.
