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 3, English, - mine%2Dmouth%20plant

A fuel-cell power plant generally consists of three major subsystems-a fuel processor, a fuel-cell power station, and a power conditioner. The fuel processor converts a conventional utility fuel to hydrogen gas; the fuel-cell power station electrochemically converts hydrogen and oxygen to water, while producing direct-current power; and the power conditioner converts direct-current power to alternating-current power. 3, record 4, English, - fuel%2Dcell%20power%20plant
