==Economy==
[[Tambon]] Pakasai has long been the site of an electrical power generating plant run by the [[Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand]] (EGAT). In 1964, three 20 [[megawatt|MW]] coal-fired plants came on-line adjacent to a coal mine that supplied fuel for the boilers. The plants were replaced in 1995 by a 340 MW generating plant burning natural gas and petroleum. EGAT plans to build on the same site an 800 MW coal-fired plant<ref>{{cite news|last1=Praiwan|first1=Yuthana|title=Call on Krabi coal plant due in November|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/business/news/1101873/call-on-krabi-coal-plant-due-in-november|accessdate=4 October 2016|work=Bangkok Post|date=4 October 2016}}</ref> to come on-line in 2019, burning 2.3 million tonnes of coal yearly, imported from Indonesia, Australia, and South Africa. The development is estimated to cost 60 billion baht (US$2 billion). EGAT's plans have encountered significant resistance from local residents due to their health concerns and fears of detrimental environmental impact.<ref name=GP-2014>{{cite book|title=Paradise at Risk: The Krabi Coal-fired Power Plant Project|date=2014|publisher=Greenpeace Southeast Asia|location=Bangkok|url=http://tcc.greenpeace.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ENGLISH-UPDATE.pdf|accessdate=14 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304185253/http://tcc.greenpeace.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ENGLISH-UPDATE.pdf|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> EGAT counters by claiming that the plant will be a "[[clean coal]]" facility. Critics maintain that clean coal has never been successfully demonstrated at scale.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Meigs|first1=James B|title=The Myth of Clean Coal: Analysis| url=http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a4947/4339171/|accessdate=18 October 2016|work=Popular Mechanics|date=2011-07-14}}</ref>
