Indiana Lawmaker Questions Cost of Proposed Rockport Plant

Updated: January 24, 2013
An update now on the controversy over the new plant planned in Spencer County that would make natural gas out of coal. The leader of the Indiana State Senate is questioning how Hoosiers could end up paying for the plant. It could cost $1 billion for customers to pay for gas from the plant at a price higher than the market rate. Natural gas prices fell sharply after the plant was announced, with the introduction of fracking to extract natural gas. The plant is expected to be a big economic boom for Rockport and Spencer County.
