CONESVILLE, OH - NOV 10: Wednesday night church services at the Northgate Bible Church draws locals from the tight-nit community where most of the residents have a family connection to the AEP electric power plant.The A.E.P.(American Electric Power) coal burning plant in Conesville, Ohio had a scrubber (filtering system to limit emissions into the air) added to the newest unit. There are other units at the coal burning plant they may go offline because installing more scrubbers is not feasible or cost effective for the company. Some job losses are expected if parts of the plant are taken offline in the future because of air quality regulations that will take effect in the next couple of years.
