			<title>FutureGen Alliance - Response to DOE's Request for Information</title>
			<link>http://www.futuregenalliance.org/news/response_to_doe_rfi_030308.stm</link>
			<description>The FutureGen Alliance has unwavering support for FutureGen at Mattoon and is interested in working with DOE on a path forward. FutureGen at Mattoon moves near-zero emission coal technology, including capture and sequestration, farther and faster than any other project in the world. DOE's restructured approach falls short of the national need in many respects, including the schedule, the technical approach, and the business model proposed. If DOE chooses to pursue other projects, they should be complements to, not substitutes for, FutureGen at Mattoon.</description>
