Governor blasts Department of Energy's plans

Gov. Rod Blagojevich released an angry statement Tuesday after learning of the Department of Energy's plans to "restructure" the FutureGen plans.

"Only after it became clear that an Illinois site would be chosen over a Texas site, the department suggested the project be delayed and now today, that it be dismantled," said Gov. Rod Blagojevich in a written statement.
