The first US coal plant in a decade is on shaky ground

A proposed 1.25-gigawatt coal plant, the Terra Energy Center in Alaska, is being linked to potential data center development, despite significant opposition and environmental concerns. Trump officials are promoting the project, which has secured international investment, but critics question its viability and impact on the pristine Susitna Valley. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough assembly overrode the mayor's veto of a resolution supporting marketing for the project.

OPINION: Clean coal & data centers could propel Mat-Su growth for decades

This opinion piece discusses a proposal for a 'Terra Energy Center' coal and biomass facility with carbon capture in Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Borough. The author argues this could provide reliable, affordable electricity and support data center development in the region, while addressing environmental concerns through carbon capture technology. The article cites a University of Alaska Fairbanks study examining the project's potential costs and emissions profile. The piece acknowledges concerns about environmental impacts but argues the project should receive fair evaluation, rather than automatic rejection, as a potential way to diversify Alaska's energy sources and economy.
