Please contact Congress and tell them to stop trying to push this down our throats in their effort to hold on to the status quo and maintain their campaign contributions while trying to make us believe they care about this planet. There is no such thing as clean coal and liquid coal is NOT a clean option. They would dare to include this in the Farm Bill and the Energy Bill yet they strip out tax incentives for alternate energy. There is something VERY wrong with the priorities and mindset of this Congress, and we must become much more vocal regarding the health of this planet, ourselves, and our children. Those who pick the gold bars over this planet are making a false choice. Liquid coal means double the global warming pollution...3 times the water usage...23% more mining...Coal kills.

1. I don't even have to read this article to know it is a bad idea. Water
is needed to make coal liquid so it is going to be extremely harmful to our environment.

2. Water and sequestering the carbon by products..
Tell Obama your against liquid coal. He's co-sponsoring a bill for Liquid Coal Subsidies in Illinois.
