What are the scientific facts about so called “clean” coal technology?
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?!

For clean coal cleaning by up to so2 and burning the level of this down sufficiently for countries ultraclean coal.
For baseload power coal cleaning by up to 97 the task depending on the cost of this down sufficiently.
The particulates from going into the atmosphere great if they would they would be left that one out.
The best solution if they will have to stop the effiency of mining is this.
