As energy costs and availability continue to rock industry and consumers alike, this week's Snapshot From the Field profiles the ongoing final site selection for the U.S. Dept. of Energy's $750-million FutureGen clean-coal project.

CLEAN ENOUGH FOR YOU? The $750-million FutureGen clean-coal power plant championed by the DOE proposes to "sequester" nearly all of its carbon dioxide in the ground. Whether that ground is in Texas or Illinois remains to be seen.

• Food Processing: "Organic Growth"
• Louisiana Spotlight: "Seeing is Believing"
