If BNSF and UP can't get their act together, this advanced form of moving coal via pipellne might become the answer to the coal industry's prayers: <br /> <br />http://www.missouri.edu/~cprc/Facts%20about%20CLP.html <br />http://www.capsu.org/library/documents/0028.html <br /> <br />The concept is different from coal slurry pipelines in that the coal is compressed into logs, then floated through the pipepine. CLP uses about 1/4 of the water that a typical coal slurry pipeline uses. The article also states that PRB coal makes the best logs. That and the low water usage would make this technology ameable for PRB coal interests in Wyoming.
