WESTERN FUELS ASSOCIATION, INC. ANNUAL REPORT 1998 CO2: BLOCK AMENACE In a move that science teachers everywhere will find surprising, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has labeled carbon dioxide (CO2) a pollutant. But CO2 is not a pollutant; it is one of nature's most fundamental building blocks. In this thinly veiled attempt to regulate where it has been unable to legislate, the Clinton Administration has taken its battle against fossil fuels to new ground. Many Americans may have forgotten what they learned in school about CO2. This report offers a primer for those who refuse to sit on the sidelines while one of the most important debates of the century is carried on in Washington. According to a computer-driven hypothesis, humankind's CO2 emissions will trigger potentially catastrophic changes in earth?s climate by inducing apocalyptic global warming. Billions of federal dollars have been spent on research in a vain attempt to prove this hypothesis. Empirical evidence suggests that these expected negative results of fossil fuel combustion are unfounded. Instead, evidence of very modest nighttime winter warming, robust plant growth, rejuvenating forests and ample harvests abounds. Even so, where positive effect is most evident, it is ignored. International policy makers and domestic environmental regulators have convinced themselves that increasing CO2 emissions call for dramatic changes in the way we live. They assert that people must curtail their use of fossil fuels, that society must deal with "the CO2 issue." 002 IS VITAL TO LIFE ON EARTH. Life on earth is carbon?based. How is C02 essential to our existence? Plants get their carbon from C02. During plants use the sun?s energy, CO2 and water to make the sugars that fuel their growth. Through this process, plants store carbon in their cells and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Humans and animals get the carbon we need from the plants we eat. The oxygen we breathe oxidizes the carbon in our systems, and we exhale C02. C02 is produced through fossil fuel combustion in the following way: An internal combustion engine, coal-fired power plant or natural gas turbine uses carbon stored in a fossil fuel (such as coal, which is ancient plant life) and burns (oxidizes) it?releasing energy and emitting C02. Humans have learned to harness this energy. - 0' ?Ji? v5.1.5?4"3.153.!" . .l ,fuaa..- . warmer, wetter and rich in CO2.

If one believes that increasing atmospheric concentrations of C02 place the world at risk, then the obvious solution is this: Society must de-carbonize, and the Fossil Fuel Age must end. Policies promoting such solutions represent a wrenching transformation of society and can not be accomplished without economic disruption, no matter the time frame chosen. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous. The I992 Rio Treaty (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change), as amended by the Kyoto Protocol last December, would begin such a transformation. The treaty commits industrialized nations to curtailing C02 emissions. Because developing countries? emissions will continue to rise, the Kyoto Protocol will fail to significantly reduce the theoretical risk of apocalyptic change in climate and will fail the political test of ratification by the US Senate, even if President Clinton makes the US a signatory. Still greater transformation will be necessary. Using the climate?change issue as the political lever to transform US energy policy has been part of the environmental agenda since at least 1980. President Carter?s environmental advisors, then, are scattered throughout the domestic and international environmental policy apparatus insisting we "do something" about C02 now. Western Fuels Association, Inc., continues to engage this issue at a leadership level. One way we do this is in partnership with the National Mining Association (NMA). Western Fuels and NMA will dedicate substantial resources in resisting EPA's initiative to regulate CO2 as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. Western Fuels will also continue to defend Americans? reliance on fossil fuels through our grassroots mobilization site on the World Wide Web at Western Fuels will continue to focus on the science of this issue through the newly formed Greening Earth Society and the distribution of the biweekly led Climate Report, the annual State of the Climate Report and the video "The Greening of Planet Earth" and its sequel (now in production). Greening Earth Society is designed to involve the grassroots in an ongoing way. "Doing something" about CO2 means treating a building block of nature a part of the web of life as though it were a threat to nature and life. Western Fuels Association has believed since 1989 that the climate?change debate will be won or lost on the basis of science. Ultimately, the science had to be the CO2 issue. Fredrick D. Palmer Robert L. McPhaiI PRESIDENT AND GENERAL LETTER The past year saw major progress by Western Fuels Association in all major areas of activity. In pre? vious reports, we?ve identified our difficulties arising from market conditions confronting certain of our member/owners and specific projects we pursue through affiliated companies. Last year, we reported on the sale of our interest in Western Fuels?Utah and the Deserado Mine. This year, Cajun Electric Power Cooperative?s continuing bankruptcy difficulties and market conditions fac? ing Brushy Creek Mine began to improve. We can once again report good news for the Association. Agreement has been reached with the Cajun Trustee concerning a buy?out of our interest in the Cajun coal supply agreements upon completion of the bankruptcy and the transfer of owner? ship of Big Cajun No. 2 to partners in the Louisiana Generating Company: Northern States Power (through a subsidiary), Southern Company Services and Zeigler Coal Holding Company. While negotiating the agreement with the Trustee, Cajun has continued performance under the existing coal supply relationships. Trustee rejection during the remaining pendency of the Cajun bankruptcy plan is an extremely remote possibility given the successful conclusion of a con- tract re?opener between Western Fuels and Triton Coal Company, a Zeigler subsidiary. The coal price now in effect for Cajun is substantially below spot market for coal of comparable quality. Western Fuels continues to provide a unit train to Cajun under a short?term lease at a price sub? stantially below market. Association management has always maintained that the existing Cajun coal supply agreements are in the best interest of the Cajun bankruptcy estate. Developments over the past year have borne this out. The Cajun bankruptcy may be concluded some time early in 1999. But, given the complexity of the proceeding, this is far from certain. Proponents of alternative plans include Enron and Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO). Enron has told the bankruptcy court that it desires to affirm the Western Fuels' coal supply agreements and will perform in accordance with the terms. If Enron?s plan succeeds, Western Fuels will be pleased to provide coal and coal supply services for Enronjust as we have for Cajun. SWEPCO maintains its stance, rejecting the Association and others in the fuel supply chain. We believe SWEPCO's posture is a fatal flaw in its effort to have its plan adopted. Brushy Creek Mine continues operations at a million?ton?per?year production level. Adverse roof conditions have prevented us from achieving budgeted margins so far this year, but the mine is IO operating "in the black? and our major customers are taking coal in accordance with their con? tracts. We reached a successful agreement with the United Mine Workers ofonerica. Our new agreement improves upon previous ones and is a major reason why Brushy Creek maintains opera? tions at a profitable level, despite thin margins. As to Brushy Creek's future, it is as uncertain as it has been for some time. While Illinois Basin market conditions appear to be stable, we know from past experience that this can change rapidly. Phase Two implementation of the Clean Air Act Amendments is fast approaching and Brushy Creek?s medium sulfur content disadvantages its product. On the other hand, the need for Illinois Basin coal in Midwestern power plants continues, and Brushy Creek has thus far demon? strated an ability to market coal and operate successfully in a less?than?robust market. Our relationships with both of the major railroads with whom we do business have deteriorat? ed during the past year. We are involved in litigation with both Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) and the Union Pacific System (UP). The BNSF litigation concerns application of productivity indices to terms and conditions of contracts for movement of coal to the Laramie River Station and to Sherco power plant. Basin Electric Power Cooperative operates Laramie River Station in behalf of its owners, including Tri-State Generation Transmission Association and several public power systems which are Western Fuels Class members. Northern States Power operates Sherco for itself and Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (SMMPA). SMMPA has a right to supply its share of coal for the power plant, and we are SMMPA's supplier. Western Fuels has taken the position that the newly adopted Rail Cost Adjustment Factor?5 is the appropriate productivity index to be used in adjusting these contracts rather than the previously used BNSF claims that the Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act abrogates application of rail transportation contract productivity adjusters, has billed us retroactively for past coal shipments, and has substantially increased current rates. We do not accept the validity of the retroactive billing, nor are we paying rates at currently billed levels. Instead, Western Fuels pays rates at a level consistent with the previous formula. To protect ourselves and our members, Western Fuels filed litigation in Federal District Court in Wyoming seekingjudicial restraint of BNSF's monopolistic practices with respect to captive customers DELIVERIES as of December 31, 1997 Basin Electric Power Cooperative Tri?State Generation 8c Transmission Association Laramie River Station 51994-396 tons Leland Olds Station 143,514 tons Cajun Electric Power Cooperative Big Cajun No. 2 57501377 tons Tri?State Generation Transmission Association Craig Station 1,586,992 tons Nucla Station 386,331 tons Board ofPublic Utilities of Kansas City, Kansas Nearman Creek Station 954,358 tons Kaw Quindaro Stations 471,655 tons Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency Sherco Ill 1,318,690 tons Sun?ower Electric Power Corporation Holcomb Station 1,111,843 tons Plains Electric Generation Transmission Cooperative Plains Escalante Generating Station 1,071,004 tons Sikeston, Missouri, Board of Municipal Utilities Sikeston Power Station 944,957 tons Marion Coal Sales Brusly Creek Mine 717,866 tons TOTAL DELIVERIES 20,451,983 tons like us. Discovery is complete and cross?motions for summaryjudgment have been filed, although no ruling has been made. With respect to the Union Pacific System, our lawsuit stems from UP's inability to perform under what it claims is a "rail transportation contract? for movement of Powder River Basin (PRB) coal to the City of Sikeston, Missouri?s Sikeston Station. PRB movements to Sikeston commenced at about the time of the UP operations meltdown in late?August, early-September. Because UP could not deliver coal to Sikeston in sufficient quantity to allow operation of the power plant, we contracted with BNSF for Sikeston coal deliveries. In retaliation, UP declared it would no longer honor terms and conditions of another contract with us for coal transportation to the Nearman Station, owned and operated by the Board of Public Utilities of Kansas City, Kansas. In doing so, UP disallowed a volume?related contract discount of nearly $1 million per year. To protect ourselves and restrain monopolistic practices by a carrier we believe is abusing its relationship with us, Western Fuels initiated litigation in Federal District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. We seekjudicial protection from UP. Discovery is ongoing; no motions have been filed. It is difficult to guess when the matter might be resolved. and UPS actions with respect to the management of their relationships with us under- score the need for railroad regulatory reform at the federal level. Currently, a handful of Class I railroads are not restrained by the forces of competition and are without effective scrutiny by federal regulators. The regulators seem in a state of denial concerning the problems confronting major portions of the shipper community in the US, including the vital coal-chain industries. This encourages railroad highhandedness with respect to rates, terms and conditions of service and also sets the stage for the kind of operational meltdown UP suffered, which continues to affect substantial portions of US commerce. For these reasons, Western Fuels and other bulk shippers of diverse products have banded together as the Alliance for Rail Competition (ARC) which, together with our fellow members in Consumers United for Rail Equity (CURE), is pushing for regulatory reform in Congress. The out? line of reform is clear: more competition in the rail industry, closer attention by federal regulators to problems confronting captive shippers and better use of power already available under current law. We initiated and concluded a contract re-opener for Sunflower Electric Power Corporation?s Holcomb Station. The coal supplier is Kennecott Energy Company. We were able to complete the re-opener very quickly because of Kennecott?s active cooperation. Unfortunately, in another instance involving the Colowyo Mine, litigation has ensued between Western Fuels?Colorado and Colowyo, which is an affiliate of Kennecott. Kennecott has refused to discuss changes in the coal supply relationship for the Craig Station, which has a large (and growing) coal stockpile. To alleviate the stockpile situation, Western Fuels-Colorado initiated discussions with Kennecott to secure a contract buy?down price in the interest of both Kennecott and Tri?State Generation Transmission Association. Western Fuels?Colorado purchases Colowyo coal for Tri-State. Kennecott has refused to negotiate a buy?down. In addition, it is our view as we have alleged in state court in Colorado that W.R. Grace violated certain terms and conditions of the consent agreement and other project documents pertaining to the transfer ofW.R. Grace?s ownership interest in Colowyo to Kennecott. It is unfortunate that Kennecott is caught up in this dispute, but it is Colowyo's current owner and seemingly must suffer the consequences of W.R. Grace?s and Colowyo's breach of their obligation to Western Fuels-Colorado and Tri?State. Discovery is ongoing, and Kennecott recently filed dispositive motions for a judgment on the pleadings. We will vigorously oppose that motion and are preparing for the trial, scheduled to commence in June 1999. Plains Electric Generation 81 Transmission Cooperative is in discussions with the federal government concerning reorganization of its financial affairs and is exploring various options, including sale of a portion of its assets such as Plains Escalante Generating Station (PEGS). Western Fuels supplies PEGS coal from Peabody COALSALES Company?s Lee Ranch Mine. Plains also is discussing with Tri?State a potential merger even while exploring other relationships that might help it through the difficulties associated with large debt. Western Fuels delivers coal to PEGS using our Escalante-Western Railway, a railroad operation connecting the mine and power plant. While there have been comments with respect to the need to look at the current fuel supply relationship, no discrete suggestions have been made concerning specific changes, if changes even should be made, or what the relationship might be in the future. Because of our ownership of the railroad, the fact that the investment in the railroad will be paid I3 GREENING EARTH SOCIETY Greening Earth Sociey provides sound infor? mation about CO2 and fossil fuels to educators, students, business and media representatives, communiy leaders and polig makers. off relatively soon, Lee Ranch Mine's proximity to the power plant, and because other sources of coal supply are a vast distance from the power plant, we believe the best long?term coal supply solution at PEGS continues to be Lee Ranch Mine. But having said that, we have experienced both the Deseret Generation Transmission Co-operative restructuring discussions and the Cajun bankruptcy and know we cannot be certain serious questions will not be posed with respect to our relationship at PEGS. As in those two situa- tions, economics ultimately will determine how the matter goes forward. Because of our comfort with the fit between PEGS and Lee Ranch (as connected by the Escalante?Western), Western Fuels management is of the view that no matter how the Plains situation plays out, our economic interest in the relationship and our ability to supply low?cost coal to PEGS will not be impaired. We lost $583,000 in 1997, even though coal deliveries were substantially over 20 million tons. 1997?s "red ink? was not due to adverse operational performance either in coal deliveries or by management. In fact, the economics of our new shared?services agreement with Tri?State pro? vide substantial benefit both to Western Fuels and for Tri-State. On an ongoing basis, Western Fuels is operating substantially "in the black." Our half-million dollar shortfall is due entirely to our advocacy in the area of climate change. The Board of Directors continues to provide financial support to programs designed to turn back efforts by the Clinton Administration to dial?out coal? fired generation in the US energy supply mix. The Administration's efforts reached a new high late in 1997, with negotiations pursuant to the Rio Treaty at Kyoto, Japan. The resulting Kyoto Protocol would commit the US to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission levels to 7% below those in 1990. This would return our nation to roughly the equivalent of economic activity in 1981. Since 1981, there are 25 million new Americans. Another 20 million are anticipated within the next 12 years 2010 being the mid- point of the time-table the Administration proposes to use in restraining our economic activity. Simple arithmetic demonstrates to anyone who cares to make the calculation that to accomplish this, coal production and consumption must be cut by more than half. All Americans will have to reduce by at least 30% their utilization of fossil fuels in the cars they drive, the products they con? sume and the electricity our society relies upon. For anyone to identify with this kind of policy suggests they believe fossil fuels pose a unique 14 threat to the human community. We believe the contrary. Fossil fuels are a gift of the Creator. For the world community to reach our economic potential, fossil fuels will have to be utilized in much greater quantities throughout the world, notjust here. The Clinton Administration?s vision of cat? astrophic global warming is driving US policy with respect to climate change. This was true in Kyoto and presumably will be so during negotiations in Buenos Aires, Argentina, later this year. This policy simply must be resisted. It is not that the science associated with the vision of apocalypse is uncertain. It simply is wrong.
