My problems with coal go beyond the burning of it. The other <a href="http://ecopolitology.blogspot.com/search?q=eco-social+externalities/" rel="nofollow">"externalities" </a>of coal are not always taken into account. These include but are not limited to, the high cost of subsidized coal transport, and the social costs of coal mining (i.e. dead coalminers). I hope not. But that may not matter. My problems with coal go beyond the burning of it. The other “externalities” of coal are not always taken into account. These include but are not limited to, the high cost of subsidized coal transport, and the social costs of coal mining (i.e. dead coalminers).

Nobody's going to deny China and India cheap energy (nor should they), so coal's not going away until, as <a href="http://google.org/rec.html" rel="nofollow">Google.org</a> puts it, RE<C. Making plants commit to carbon capture and storage sounds like a good start. Hopefully it'll spur the innovation necessary to clean the future Indian and Chinese coal.
