Coal Terminal in Superior, Wisconsin to Close: A Shift Towards Cleaner Energy SourcesA coal terminal in Superior, Wisconsin, operated by Midwest Energy Resources Company, is set to close next year due to a significant decrease in coal shipments. The facility, which opened in 1976, has been a crucial part of transferring coal from trains to ships on the Great Lakes. However, with the ongoing shift towards cleaner energy sources, the company has decided not to renew its lease with Koch Industries. The closure will impact fifty-six employees, but they will have the chance to apply for other positions within DTE. Despite the closure, theres optimism that another entity might lease the Superior coal terminal, considering its world-class status and the ports history of adapting to evolving cargo needs.
