Clean coal technology is on the drawing board. It’s a part of the great hope. Since coal is our currently ourbiggest source of energy, we must consider ways to clean it, however, we are not there yet. New systems are being considered and perhaps some of them may some day work, but in order to be clear, we must realize that this technology does not yet exist. More later on this subject. Anyone with an opinion or more detailed knowledge is invited to comment further.
(Excerpt from Alternet) By Antrim Caskey
“The Coal Spill Disaster in Kingston – has clued Americans in to the real consequences of coal. We use coal-fired power for almost half of our daily electricity use; when you turn on your lights, your plasma TV or laptop computer, you are probably using coal. The coal industry, which has come under sustained attack, especially in the wake of global climate change, is spending tens of millions of dollars on a public relations war to convince Americans that coal is good and clean.”

The idea of a coal shortage is virtually unthinkable. We have roughly 275 billion tons of recoverable coal, enough for us to burn for the next two and a half centuries if we needed it
