Despite threats from Sen. Dick Durbin, Undersecretary of Energy C.H. "Bud" Albright Jr. maintains that his department will restructure FutureGen.
Albright announced Wednesday in a conference call that the Department of Energy created a draft of the requirements for power plants that will use federal money. Companies would be able to apply for the money by mid-summer, he said. The department could choose the plants by December, and they could be operating by 2015.
