Coal does not have to be part of our energy future at all. Why are we even talking about it? It's the dirtiest fossil fuel and it's killing us. Get rid of it! Or there will be civil disobedience to occupy/shut them down.

Coal is dirty from start to finish! and it's residue is on the hands and dollar bills of the industry that profits from it! We need solutions that are decentralized, renewable and don't produce toxins.

If clean coal does exist, I sure hope Santa is leaving it in the stockings of big coal execs this Christmas.

CLEAN COAL? That is an oxymoron. OBAMA is a liar, crook, & a fraud. Coal is CLEAN energy? OBAMA wants to back the COAL UNIONs. OBAMA says he is for clean energy, but it is just a bunch of B/S. It means more dues for his UNION cronies. Same with CAP/TRADE, raise your taxes, & energy prices saying you take that money for windmills, BULLSHIT! All going to state deficits to pay off the UNIONs outrageous salaries & pensions!

turbines which is coupled to electric generators to turn it around . the first layer of water (superheated to 1000F) Steam can be much higher than 212 degrees F as long as it is sealed in super strong pipe system and heat exhanger used to boil the second layer of water at lower temperatures ( probably 300 degree or so) the first layer of radioactive water is smaller in volume but it can boil the much bigger second layer of water system. Interesting?

sogg if everyone is sick of paying utility bills and everyone burns firewood, can you live with that??? You will not be able to see your hands infront of you due to the smoke all over! When you dust , you will see blackish soot on your dustrag. You will not live long.. Use your common sense be more considerate of others.. Some is very sensitive .. Pay your friggin' uitilty bills!!

@junkyardnut they will follow the scent of food true but you are also not suppose to be stupid enough to leave anything laying around. I live in black bear country if you leave food lying around when youre camping then what ever happens is your own damn fault. I for one have been camping in the mountains here since I was 11, and I have yet to even see a bear while camping. I know what youre saying though but the smoke doesnt "bother" them as much as it is a simple warning.
