You didn't read the article did you?

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?

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.

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.

The only people surprised by that are the uneducated coal miners that convinced themselves of the fantasy that Trump would save the industry.

We'd need more matter than we have in the solar system.

Steel tariffs should help our coal and steelmaking union brothers. Gonna take a lot of pipe to build the Keystone pipeline.

Built to transport Canadian oil. May as well use Canadian steel.

Unfortunately the president and his supporters believe the US economy is simpler than solving a Rubiks Cube.
