RE: [papercreters] Re: Press

I haven’t checked lately, so it may have changed, but the ash here is combined with water and pumped back into the mine sites and is unavailable.  I spent lots of time trying to get it and even got samples, but they said it wasn’t going to happen.  It’s a lower quality ash as well.  I spoke with one contractor that was bringing some in from Canada but would only sell me carload quantities which would require a Silo that cost about 50 thousand to erect here plus shipping in special trucks from Anchorage.

By the time it’s sacked and delivered here it costs more than cement.  Cement is pretty pricy as well at $16/sack.

Anywhere they have coal burning plants would work. 9% of the electricity
in Alaska is produced with coal and over half the electricity in Montana
is made with coal and even a bit in Washington State. There has to be
fly ash a lot closer to Alaska than Texas. I would start with Alaskan
coal plants.
