It’s changed from one giant mega IGCC plant to a bunch of smaller IGCC plants with carbon capture deomstrations. It’s budgeted to cost the government as much as it was going to end up putting into the one big FutureGen plant ($1.8 billion if memory serves). So FutureGen is still on.

Considering the chances of carbon sequestration actually working, I think this is worse news, personally.
