Coal Power Online

Doug T asked:


Everyone knows “Clean Coal” is scam. Why would we allow such manipulative and deceptive advertising? If you can’t smoke in a restaurant why can you pump billions of tons of C02 into the atmosphere? When will rich concerned citizens start to purchase and shut down coal power plants?

Stan S asked:


Coal, oil, nuclear, building these things when we have the alternatives is just crazy, especially considering how damaged our climate is already with the level of CO2 emissions, oil spills, mining pollution, contaminated water and soil, and the radiation from chernoybl and three mile island and who knows what little leaks people don’t even know about from unsafe nuclear waste storage. And yet there all either being built or plans have been made to build many more of them. If we got these options for future power production off the table it would explode the green clean energy economy and would get those companies that are planning on building these incredibly foolish and destructive power plants to build green ones instead. Anyone else feel the same way? How could the internet be used to successfully stop these foolhardy dirty power plants from being built? Have people started already and I just don’t have the right links? If you know any your more then invited to post them!

CSK asked:


Turning the generator makes electricity, generator is turned by turbine, and turbine is turned by force: the force is either water from waterfalls or steam. Boiling water creates steam. Water is boiled by coal, natural gas or atomic power. Why don’t we use the heat form volcanoes? This question is for scientists, who can think of a way utilize that wasted heat.

talk2on asked:

If this could happen in USA (where there is more stringent laws and protection of the environment), what gives us the confidence that it will not also happen in Malaysia, Sabah or SANDAKAN?? (say, 3 days before Chinese New Year, Hari Raya or Kaamatan..)

I need sources too, I would prefer a source that says the percentage of all major types of power production (I mean stuff like coal power or hydro)

Amy L asked:


From the article in the link below:

“Officials weighing federal applications by utilities to build new coal-fired power plants cannot consider their greenhouse gas output, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency ruled late Thursday. Some environmentalists fear the decision will clear the way for the approval of several such plants in the last days of the Bush administration.”

What “sound policy considerations” is Mr. Johnson referring to in setting aside last years Supreme Court decision that the agency could regulate carbon dioxide, the most prevalent global warming gas, under existing law?

ten points for best answer

Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.
