Global Warming & The Future of Coal - Cut Carbon Emissions

Ever-rising industrial and consumer demand for more power in tandem with cheap and abundant coal reserves across the globe are expected to result in the construction of new coal-fired power plants producing 1,400 gigawatts of electricity by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. In the absence of emission controls, these new plants will increase worldwide annual emissions of carbon dioxide by approximately 7.6 billion metric tons by 2030. These emissions would equal roughly 50 percent of all fossil fuel emissions over the past 250 years.

Carbon sequestration is years off. This video is science fiction!

There is NO man made Global Warming. They are all liars!

US Congress needs to investigate.

Carbon capture?! What a crazy ridiculous idea. Fuck them fuck their silly ideas.

Bullshit.

CCS knocks down the effeciency of a plant, and where it would be stored is either a threat to the local population or has the potential to produce many thousands of times more CO2 than we have in the air right now.

Scientific gentlemen, I ask them that they put a lot of attention, to the end of the video That them command. Because not alone I criticize their video, but I offer them another solution. Or you are of the scientists, that

conceal, they do not discover?

short and sweet and to the point!

i like this idea, I wonder why we're only realiving it now. The only down sides is the cost required for rooms store all that much CO2, and getting locals to allow the coal under their land.
