The only way to make coal " clean " is to capture and dispose of the CO2. That process is a very expensive and unproven technology. It also doesn't take into account how destructive the mining process of coal is to the environment.
So not possible to improve the technology? Everything else seems to be advanced all the time, why not coal?

I guess you are an "unclean" human being , considering that you emit CO2.

I did, was very short, and led me to a pic of Keith Olbermann(shudder).
The article clearly said that the author andMr. Murray arrived at the same conclusion with opposite meaning to the conclusion. Murray sees the "clean coal" as political cover and nothing more. Fire up the generators.

The author agrees that "clean coal" is political garbage talk and a reason to halt coals advance.

Both sides know it's crap.

Only if we continue to strip the forests and throw the balance off. Science hard for you guys? Not doctoral level stuff. Third grade stuff.

And of course an environmental extremist is going to say, spin, fib, whatever it takes to push his agenda. He's speaking to a certain audience, nothing given to confirm that quote.

Steel tariffs should help our coal and steelmaking union brothers. Gonna take a lot of pipe to build the Keystone pipeline.
Unfortunately the president and his supporters believe the US economy is simpler than solving a Rubiks Cube.
