"Plans to build a coal gasification power plant on campus have been put on hold, university officials said Thursday.

For the project to be feasible, the plant would have to be too big and too expensive to be constructed on campus, said Physical Plant Director Phil Gatton. The announcement came as the university released a "fatal flaws" study that was performed to determine whether the university should further pursue the project."

4/24/08 The Daily Egyptian “Last week, students voted overwhelming in support of the $10-per-semester student "green" fee to be used for on campus renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability projects and research. It's now obvious that students at SIUC are ready to step up and do their part to chill out global warming, battle resource plundering and put an end to injustice by getting serious about conservation, efficiency and renewable energy - in other words sustainability.”

3/27/08 The Daily Egyptian - “The Daily Egyptian supports any efforts toward an efficient future. It only makes sense to improve our lifestyles and cut back on what's not working as well.  Students are asking for a fee this time, not the other way around. With a university that has increased its price by hundreds of dollars in fees in the last two years to pay for a new football stadium, $10 shouldn't be too much to ask for. If the referendum passes, we hope the BOT recognizes this."

2/22/08 The Oberlin Review - “After almost five hours of presentations and fierce debate, the Oberlin City Council voted four to three to withdraw its participation from the proposed 50-year contract for a pulverized coal plant in Meigs County, OH.”   “College senior Benjamin Whatley, whose speech on town-gown relations received the longest applause of the evening, feels that the student role in this issue has been pivotal: “There is a prevalent attitude that students are meddling in the community, bullying the city on issues, voting for tax increases, etc. I wanted to set that straight because I feel that there are many students who are invested in this community, who, in the words of Marvin Krislov, are ‘inextricably intertwined’ with the City and College.”“
