If the only way your "family" can make money is by destroying the earth and exploiting others then guess what - you don't deserve to make a living.

Coal is not cost effective. The only reason coal is considered "cheap" is because it has externalized the costs of environmental pollution/degradation and health complications for over a century. If the people who burned coal were held responsible for the pollution, coal would be BY FAR the most expensive form of energy - even more than nuclear.

Obam is not a scientist, and he is definitely not god. Just because clean coal has his tick of approval does not mean it is a good investment or remotely sustainable. Its just a ploy to keep the big fat energy companies making billions. Geothermal energy is the best possible hope we have for a green future. Thats what we should be investing in.

Clean Coal! Brought to you by the people who sell Cheap Gold and Blunt Razors ;-)

Investing heavy into geothermal alone provides enough energy to power a civilization...but we can use water, wind, solar where applicable.

C + O2 --> CO2

It's not that hard people.

No matter how much sulfur you remove from coal to make it "clean", it's still carbon, and you're still putting CO2 into the atmosphere.

The scariest thing about a PR campaign of this magnitude is how quickly it becomes a conversational "fact".

The other day I was telling a relative about the new wind turbines Japan came up with, which produce energy cheaper and more efficiently than any current macro-grid option (including nuclear). His response was that nothing is cheaper than coal, and now that they can make it cleanly, we should all support it for the economy's sake. I asked what made it "clean" and got a blank stare.

Hmm... Well, it's not as good as No Country For Old Men, or The Big Lebowski, but I think as far as Coen Brothers pieces go this is about equal in quality with, say, The Hudsucker Proxy.

ok first off im a coal miner from Karlan, im not here to preach how good coal is and "don't like coal dont use electricity" becuase there are other means of creating power. coal miners don't go underground risking there life every day becuase they hate Obama or they hate a clean planet. they do it to provide for there family's and earn a living. every day underground could be your last. but where im from its the best paying job. im proud to be part of the mining industry.
