There is no such thing as clean coal.
Saturday, December 6th, 2008This isn’t an ideological statement whereby I really mean clean coal isn’t clean enough. I mean, the technology claiming that C02 emissions from coal-fired power plants can be captured and stored, is a theory. It doesn’t exist.
Hardwick continued: “It is high time for the coal industry to come clean and admit to the American people that today clean coal is not a reality. No matter how much they say it in their advertising, coal can’t truly be clean until the plants can capture global warming pollution. With so much at stake, we can’t afford to hang our hats on an illusion.”
