Petroleum coke is cheaper and burns hotter than coal, but it contains far more heart- and lung-damaging sulfur.

After months of national attention on lead-tainted drinking water in Flint, many are starting to ask questions about the 74-mile pipeline being built from Lake Huron to the struggling former auto manufacturing powerhouse.

Flint's $285M Project
