Clean Coal Technology

American technology and ingenuity have brought about amazing things and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. http://www.americaspower.org

The coal industry is committed to a future in which our most abundant fuel -- coal -- generates our electricity with even lower emissions, including the capture and storage of C02.

coal dose not kill like nuklear power energy when something messes up and does is not as bad as everyone says i kno. i have seen it and i thank th miners for my power.

Presently, the alternative sources of energy are not efficient enough to replace the use of fossil fuels. Until then, we will keep using these fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas). Secondly, our economy depends on the production and use of these fossil fuels. What most do not realize is that if we did move away from these fuels, the economy would be crippled. So truly there are two problems that must be solved, and unfortunately the second, being the economy, is of far greater consequence.

@athlonz2007 It's not reliable ENOUGH!

Clean coal? The next thing you know, they'll be telling us that high fructose corn syrup is healthy! Oh wait...

Also, where do we put the unclean stuff they strip from the coal? Clearly the "old dirty coal" isnt the same as the "new clean coal" right? So "dirty" stuff is condensed and stored somewhere, right?

CO2 and CO are highly salable chemicals. The padded chair you're probably sitting on has a polyurethane foam cushion in it. Carbon monoxide is one of the components of polyurethane, and carbon dioxide is used as a blowing agent in PUR foam production.

There IS no clean coal, unfortunately nobody in power in the US will admit this because of the influence of the coal industry! Obama supports this non-existent, self-contradictory fallacy as part of a "green" energy policy along with that other canard, corn-based ethanol (which is polluting and inefficient, it costs more energy to produce ethanol than the ethanol itself gives off!).

Keep in mind McCain supported all of this as well. It didn't actually matter who was elected last term...

replace it with newer technology, wind power and solar power togheter form a permanent energy collecting system, or a synergy. and we are able to suply 100% clean energy from solar, wind, biomass and hydrotechnology
