Sorry but clean coal is a fantasy and mountain top removal should be outlawed. Apart from sequestration, you still need to scrub the exhaust to remove other nasty emissions.
If you, as an average American, got all your electricity from nuclear plants, you'd generate one kilogram of nuclear waste during your lifetime, enough to fit in a soda can. If you got all your electricity from coal, you'd generate almost 70 tons of waste. Coal plants emit far more radioactive materials than nuclear plants do;
each year a 1,000-megawatt coal plant disperses about 27 metric tons of uranium, thorium and other radioactive substances.
