The Haynesville Trend(the largest producing natural gas reserve in the United States) is less than 100 miles FM Boyce, LA. Natural Gas is a far/far cleaner(granted not totally) burning fuel than coal. Furthermore, the council failed to consider the cost of future "upgrades" mandated by the EPA. The city council has missed an enormous opportunity to ultimatly save the city an enormous amount of money-over the long run. Bottomline, this decision is "penny wise/but dollar foolish". - Greg Foreman Sun, 07 Oct 2012 09:29:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/11594-cool-town-lafayette-reinvests-in-coal#comment-27273 It was a unanimous vote.
