The coal will move by unit train to a former aluminum smelter site (now a brownfield) on the Columbia River at Longview, Washington.

This part of the river will take deep draft vessels and really is an ideal spot for FOBing coal or other bulk commodities. The company I used to work for did extensive evaluation of Longview.

I hope they can pull it off Eric. We need the money and the Chinese need the low sulphur coal...I think the Greens will have a field day as they control the West Coast.

They will snipe at all of these projects and try to raise the capital cost of all energy foreign and domestic.
