On January 21, 2009, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) used his question time during the Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing of Timothy Geithner for Secretary of the Treasury to deliver a discourse on coal power.

The 570 foot tall smokestack at the St. Paul XCEL ENERGY coal power plant gets BLOWN UP! I decided to film a documentary about it.

And I do believe I’m the first person to do so

Fireside Production is there when the non-profit, Earthjustice hosts Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius in Denver, Colorado for the forum, “Out of Kansas — A National Clean Energy Agenda.” Governor Sebelius speaks about her stand against new coal-fired power plants in her state and her push for renewable energy alternatives.

Here is the transcript of Obama’s statement about bankrupting the coal industry (emphasis mine):

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.
It’s just that it will bankrupt them.

Amazing that this statement by Obama about bankrupting the coal industry has been kept under wraps until this time.

This new technology converts gases from industries burning fossil fuels into energy. Very cheap, visit www.absalutecology.com for more details.
The technology makes burning coal, oil, rubbish with nearly 0% pollution possible. Recycling has never been a more profitable and environmentaly friendly possiblilty then it is now. Spread the news and avoid a nuclear future. Not excatly sustainable living, but at least we’ll avoid the worst of climate change if we act soon. This technology cleans toxic gasses of impurities such as CO2, SO2, Nitrogen gas, and dust particles. Keeping the air clean at a very low cost.

This video is not directly supported by greenpeace, although its aim is to provide a simlar service as greenpeace, to protect the environment while accomodating the needs of human expansion and growth.
