ST. LOUIS — The Department of Energy, frustrated by ballooning costs for a plan to build a virtually emissions-free power plant, told federal lawmakers Tuesday it plans to pull its support for the $1.8 billion project in Illinois, lawmakers said.
The Energy Department would not publicly divulge its intentions about the 275-megawatt prototype power plant, dubbed FutureGen, or discuss what was said during the private meeting with lawmakers. It said only that it planned an announcement within days.
