1 of 3 coal-fired units at the Naughton Power Plant near Kemmerer could be switched to burn by natural gas. The power plant is owned by PacifiCorp and company spokesman Dave Eskelsen said the newest unit's emissions controls are up for review by the Environmental Protection Agency. According to Eskelsen, it would be less expensive to switch it to natural gas than to install new emissions controls for coal by 2014. Eskelsen said the company isn't planning to install any new coal-fired units in the future because of the "politics and economics" of air quality regulations.
