WTF??? CLEAN COAL???
Rather than burning it outright, they're going to gasify it and then burn it? Or liquefy it and burn it? Huge energy inputs, coal powered I suppose.

How is everyone overlooking the methods of extracting the stuff out of the ground???????!!!

THIS (mountaintop removal) is the supposed safe extraction method, they've removed most of the human beings from the process.

Out West, they're doing it the old fashioned way with impoverished laborers.

How TF has everyone strayed soooo far from reality? THIS is what they call clean???

We're not only opressed by big oil, we're oppresed by BIG COAL as well.

OIL is not even used to make electricity, so blamimg the squashing of renewably generated electricity on big oil is stupid. Oil only drives the machinery used in extraction and transportation of the stuff. It's the coal companies who are buying out ALL of our politicians. THEY'RE the ones threatened by "green energy"!

Clean Coal is a scam, a joke. Look what just happened in Tennessee.

No matter how you look at it, coal should be banned.

clean coal is not clean. It's like harmless plutonium.

Mountaintop removal is used because it extracts the most coal with the fewest workers. Thus it is the cheapest. They don't give a fuck about the mountains, people, wildlife, streams...ect.

If everyone invisioned a mountain being blown to peices every time they flipped a light switch maybe things would change...dream on.

Its BS, man. You know it and we all know it. Coal will always be fucking coal. Nothing clean about the shit. We need to get the hell off of this habit that has been a mainstay for industrial energy for 100's of years. We have to go with a cleaner alternative. We are trashing the planet. Nothing green about that.

Re: WTF??? CLEAN COAL???
Here was a nice scam payed by your tax dollars to boost profits for the coal industry.


1. Buy a ton of coal (cost: $24)
2. Spray it with diesel
3. Sell it at a loss (40 cents on the dollar)
4. Hold your hand out for $26 per ton from the government in tax credits--for making an "alternative fuel." It made Marriott an estimated $120 million in 2002.
