Once that decision was made, the cost of lignite quadrupled...
Thompson continues: "Falkirk Mining Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the North American Coal Company. The project was set up in such a way as to enable Falkirk to benefit from large, low-interest loans which Cooperative Power and United Power were able to obtain from the Rural Electrification Administration.

It is the residents of Underwood, North Dakota, and other similar coal towns, that bear the brunt of these emissions...
