Kosmos Cement in Jefferson County, Ky., has revived a decade-old proposal to burn scrap tires for fuel, according to a report in the Courier-Journal (Louisville, Ky.).
Plant officials backed off of the plan in the early 1990s after some residents raised opposition. However, the plant is now under new management and reconsidering burning scrap tires in its 2,700-degree kiln, according to the report.
