Coal Power Online

Cecil T asked:


We are about to embark on a long overdue program of building the next generation of nuclear and coal power plants as well as solar and wind power systems.

The problem this poses is the fact that we don’t have enough of the next generation of skilled people in the trades that will be called upon to build and maintain this next layer of our infrastructure.

Conpetency in these skilled crafts isn’t achieved overnight!

drokk asked:


Obviously it’s not clean but I’ll assume cleaner then in years past.But is it truly a viable alternative to imported fossil fuels as proponents like us to think and just how would increased use of coal using “clean” coal technology set us back or help us as far as global warming(or for you skeptics) pollution is concerned? I’m all for anything that will give us energy independence but not at the expense of our health and environment.Oh yeah….I live in NY which has had a massive acid rain problem directly linked to coal fired power plants in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.Now….will clean coal technology reduce this?!
