LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- A follow up to a THV Extra we brought you earlier this month on a proposal for lignite coal mining for Arkansas.

Today's THV showed you what they could look like at a Mississippi lignite mine.

Monday morning, lawmakers plan to meet with Governor Beebe in Little Rock to pitch the idea of similar operations in the southern part of the state and address some of the governor's environmental concerns.

Backers want to use the lignite for fuel for our cars, but they need $3 million approved by the state for commercial testing before going forward.

Monday's meeting is not open to the public.
