CNN Pushes Coal Propaganda: "Making Gas From Coal"

CNN confuses coal-to-liquids with coal gasification technology as they promote the work of an eccentric inventor.

During WWII the germans made gas from coal. The allies stopped oil shipments.

>>> There is an old, old saying from every culture on earth: "Don't shit where you eat, my friend." These are only "pipe dreams" to skeptics. This is because the "skeptics" blindly follow the "status qou" rather than be an active participant in change. "Doing nothing" to produce Green Energy Technologies is all that's holding it back. Who could really live with themselves for doing nothing? I would say, put that in your pipe and smoke it, but I don't recommend burning anything.

The flaw in nuclear power is that is is not green. Green is not a narrow definition of carbon/climate change causing material. It is anything that pollutes. Even without an accident which makes miles of land unhabitable and pollutes water, nuclear power produces dangerous turds that will be around for centuries. We already have alot of them and our already existing plants are creating more.

street lights use 39% of electric in the USA at lest 3 technology could solve that problem . alternators and air conditioner use 20% of the gas in a car . use other technology to power them alternators and air conditioner .

What the hell are you talking about.

Secondly, Right now we cannot magically switch to "green energy". Well unless Nuclear is called "green energy". Get off the high horse and take a look at reality. We would need the land mass equivalent to the states of both nevada and arizona to achieve one hundred percent green energy. Then what are you going to do when night falls? Or when the winds die down? Or when it is cloudy? What we really need to do is cutback and conserve energy, not adopt pipe-dreams.

Coal plants employ 300-500 people. These are full time permanent jobs. How many jobs do solar farms and wind mills generate? Secondly it has already been seen that most of the "green jobs" are being produced in countries other then the United States.

Shame on you for namecalling. This is exactly the sort of attitude that is wrong with our country. If you had thought about what I wrote: a massive developement of green energy in America will re-employ fossil fuel workers & create new jobs for many who do not now work.

PS: Pointing out that fossil fuels are a remnant of last centuries technology: It's our duty to change the world in favor of green energy, is my job. I don't live with my parents & they don't have a basement
