Fiscal or regulatory programs to force coal conversion in new utility plants or to encourage conversion to coal in existing utility or industrial boilers will stimulate more "mine-mouth" installations. Especially in the West, the appearance of new mining sites in great abundance will add further incentives for this growth. "Mine-mouth generation" involves the building of(usually mammoth) electric utilities in close proximity to coal supplies. This assures generating plants a long-term dependable fuel supply essential to their economic viability... 5, record 5, English, - mine%2Dmouth%20plant
