“Coal. While you might have heard the phrase ‘clean coal’ during the presidential campaign, it’s actually an oxymoron. Wishful thinking. Coal does not burn cleanly and it’s hugely expensive to make it burn that way…”
It has been frustrating to have so much advertising/reporting talk about clean coal as if it is a real possibility to move beyond oil and reduce carbon.
Not to mention that, clean or not, coal is just another non-renewable resource. Not only does burning coal contribute greatly to pollution and global-warming, but, have you ever visited an area of the country where they mine coal? It doesn’t exactly make for a greener America, in any sense of the word.
