Flame Bait: Clean coal plant to be built in
Ohio, they expect to get the support of the Obama Administration. Some on DU seem to think Obama is against clean coal technologies, that's not what the coal industry thinks and not what Obama said in coal country.

1. Obama wants a relationship with the coal industry, and a relationship with the
folks who have concerns about the environment.

Clean coal isn't clean; not by a long shot. But it's better than nothing, I guess.

2. Clean Coal Mixed With Dry Water = Alchemists gold!!!! I want me some!!!
Just name shit ice cream and it is. Just call lead gold and it surely must be.
I'm sold. I buy only Orwellian marketed stuff.
It's the best stuff out there, I know because they said so.

3. Clean coal does not exist. Anybody who suggests otherwise is a pandering asshat.

4. Baard Energy seems to think so and apparently
the EPA and the Obama Administration do. Did you read the C02 will be injected into old oil wells, according to some on DU that can't be done, there is no such technology well apparently they are wrong.

5. Even if the scrubbers were perfect, there'd still be massive damage from mining.
There's no way to make coal clean. Or safe. As far as I'm concerned anybody who thinks otherwise deserves to live the rest of their life with the ailments that plague people who worked in mines.
