"Affordable and reliable power is fundamental to a successful economy, and I look forward to building on today's productive conversations," Matheson said. "I appreciate Administrator Pruitt visiting with the electric cooperative community. Today's visit is another important step as we work to advance common goals and improve the lives of every rural American. " "The Thomas Hill facility is a clear example of combining reliable electricity production with environmental protection. Associated Electric invested hundreds of millions of dollars in emission control equipment that has made Thomas Hill one of the cleanest coal plants in the nation and Associated Electric was named "Wind Utility of the Year" for its efforts to bring Missouri's first wind farm on line."
