Talk:FutureGen

message: Given that this could offer a safe-valve for the present development of gas electrcity generation, and provide countries with an option for future energy, as well as nuclear, what are the costs? What is the lifespan of a plant, in theory, and what would the per kilowatt cost be, both marginal and real? Cheers, Nick Kerr 20:50, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good questions, but unanswerable today.  The technology to build this plant isn't complete, and some of its components will be prototypes, not even first generation.  Part of the cost will depend on where the carbon dioxide goes, and the method hasn't even been settled on. Simesa 22:38, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Energy Costs 

message: This 2nd half of this section should be discarded or completely rewritten, especially the last paragraph where its just wrong:
"New IGCC coal-fired power plants produce electricity that costs 9-11 cents/kWh. Capturing and sequestering the greenhouse gases and toxic pollutants in FutureGen power plants will add at least 5 cents/kWh.[2] These prices are much higher than the current cost of clean, free, renewable, sustainable wind energy, and the expected price of solar electricity."
*Costs 
The source provided, "Deloying IGCC in the decade..."[2] clearly states in table 5-6 the cost of IGCC power is established by experience to be 4-5 cents/kWh, not 9-11.  Sequestration is likely to add 10% to the cost or at most an additional 1 cent/kWh.  See this DOE report: "H2 from Coal ...". See the Wiki page on IGCC Costs which also contradicts the numbers listed here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Gasification_Combined_Cycle#Cost_and_Reliability
].  The author of the talk section above (205.254.147.8) also lists 3.5 cents/kWh.
*Limited areas for geo storage of CO2?  Highly suspect, needs a source.
*Comparison w/ renewable sources.  The word 'free' should be deleted. The comparison in general should be deleted unless the discussion of renewable  s can rise to the same level as sited in source [2] on IGCC which discusses amortization of capital costs and depreciation - the latter apply equally to renewable generation. --192.160.51.70 (talk) 23:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential Problems 

message: The part of the introduction that says that the US pulled out of this enterprise does NOT have a valid source. Look at this,  the project's website, it makes it quite clear that the USA is still participating! Contralya (talk) 07:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to fix it up a bit. I didn't touch anything in the bottom section describing the controversy, though. Tim D (talk) 22:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  US pulls out??? 

message: If you look at the FutureGen website at DoE it is clear that the FutureGen PROGRAM is not canceled.  They restructured it to make it more efficient and to result in MORE power plants rather than the one central one that was being discussed previously.

thread_title:  FutureGen not canceled 

message: It is time to refurbish this article. I updated the lede. Also added some of the 2014 developments to the end of the article, in the Revised Plan subsection. 
* Maybe somebody can update the map to show the present location? I think the map pin is still in Matoon.
* I think that parts of the Revised Plan subsection---reflecting the current scope and status of the project---should be moved up to the first section: after the lede and before all the history.
* Parts of this article (for example the Technology section) are written in the past tense, as if FutureGen were no longer a going concern.
