[Public-List] About those woodstoves

Pepco. They use 79 railroad cars of coal per year.

Sure that's not per day?

I haven't been over there in a while, but as of a couple years ago one 
could walk up to the coal pile in Canton (behind the hospital 
ship-Baltimore). Head for Broening hwy. and take a left at the light 
where the Crown Cork and Seal plant is.

The Brandon Shore power plant (Riveira beach-across from Sparrows Point) 
uses coal from Norfolk-3000+ton barge worth about once a day. My 
understanding is the Balt. coal is of a higher quality and used for 
metallurgical purposes; Norfolk (Newport News, actually) coal is more 
for boilers. I'm guessing Balt. coal is more anthracite in nature.
