Tour of Harriman Dispatching Center in Omaha, Neb.

[americaspower]

I don't think many Americans realize how important domestic energy is to our country's economic recovery and overall security. Currently, half of our electricity comes from coal-which happens to be our most abundant fuel resource.

In fact, we recently kicked off the America's Power Factuality Tour-a country-wide road trip in search of the people, places and technologies involved in producing cleaner electricity from domestic coal.

For the second leg of our trip, we stopped at the Harriman Dispatching Center in Omaha, Neb., where we got a tour of this complex facility which employs 800 people who work around the clock to ensure the smooth operation of Union Pacific's entire rail operation.

This is just one example of how new technologies mesh with the technologies of the past to keep America running-providing reliable jobs and by ensuring that American families and businesses have the affordable electricity we all depend on. Take the tour for yourself and see our most abundant domestic fuel at work. http://origin.americaspower.org/factuality
