i’m sorry if you are in the industry and your job is threatened from humanity getting smarter — i’d advise you to look into other options sooner than later.

even if you removed the global warming effect of burning coal, there is nothing clean about this energy source:

Yes, that’s right — the EPA works to protect our clean air so that we can breathe safely, which must also mean that it wants us to stop breathing. You seem to be a bit lost…

The EPA has one rather clear designated goal — protect the natural resources humans rely on to live and live healthily (i.e. don’t let us drive ourselves to extinction).

I’m sure the Nazi’s also wouldn’t appreciate being associated with the GOP.

Did someone put out a call for silly posters?

Just stop this silly nonsense, will you?

Explain to us JMin – what’s the route from underneath the Earth’s surface to back under the Earth’s surface for that carbon in coal?

How do we use the stored energy in coal without letting it get into the carbon cycle?(I’m not sure you understand the carbon cycle. If you did you wouldn’t post something silly like “feel free to quit breathing…”.)

Nasty. I don’t eat coal. I eat plants. Non-fossil fuel source.

So feel free to quit breathing. Your breathing is adding CO2 to the atmosphere. I just know how to use coal cleanly without adding emmissions to the amosphere. I own no stock in coal and am hot here to promote the so called clean coal; because no on is doing so except a group in Austrailia. Your rage is manifest; but this is not the place to vent it. Seek help.

Seriously, I am simply offended that you read that comment and I’d probably be shocked if you were German.

So that is why you are here, trying to sell us on clean coal. Please explain to me how this miracle system works. What do you do with the carbon dioxide, the mercury, the other heavy metals, and the sulfur. Rendering to output inert is great. I would love to have a sample of the output to test.

The bottom line is if it adds a gram of CO2 to the atmosphere from a fossil source it’s in our cross-hairs and is going down.

That depends upon the method employed. Our system renders such inert. It also gasifies coad ash piles. Ihis is not your typical gaisication method and process I also will not bother to educate you into what it is.

Do you know how much ash is left behind by gasification? So lets say we gasify it, what do we do with the mercury rich ash?

One of the huge expenses of coal gasification is the waste disposal. Right now coal is less cost competitive than natural gas, add in disposal the cost doubles. Financially coal has become a failed business model.

To be honest, this had nothing to do with Nazis. Uber is commonly used — or, at least, i’ve heard it many times — and I’ve never associated it with Nazis. That’s totally your projection.

exactly. so, Steeple, don’t get caught up in the simple title of a law (i.e. Clean Air Act), but focus on its intent.
