well, we need more than oneI don't care if they build the damn thing in my back yard, we need it bilt.
who says they cant have more than one in both placesCouldn't agree more Dive. I find we hold many of the same ideals and I like that fact because rather than dwelling on our differences we find a great deal of issues we agree upon.
I call dibs on the first one in my back yard you can have the SECOND one.
i agreeOne thing is for sure. We have a lot of need and we have a lot options. There is NO REASON why we can't be the world leader in power production.
The thing is though Coal can be a part of the solution as well, it would seem to me not a very wise move to simply ignore one of the most abundant resources this nation has and not explore ways to burn coal in an environmentally friendly manner. It's my opinion that like nuclear too much effort has been put into deamonizing coal when if used in a sound manner coal represents a large portion of our energy portfolio.
The world's first "clean coal" power plant went on-line in September 2008 in Spremberg, Germany. The plant is state-owned and has been built by the Swedish firm Vattenfall.[11] The plant is state owned because of the high costs of this technology, since private investors are only willing to invest in other sources such as nuclear, solar and wind.[12] The facility captures CO2 and acid rain producing sulfides, separates them, and compresses the CO2 into a liquid state. Plans are to inject the CO2 into depleted natural gas fields or other geological formations. This technology is considered to not be a final solution for CO2 reduction in the atmosphere, but provides an achievable solution in the near term while more desirable alternative solutions to power generation can be made economically practical.
Clean coal technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It would seem if the technology exists to build these clean coal plants then you must address the issue of sequestration of the by product which is the liquid CO2. That being said though if you look at US coal reserves though this simply cannot be dismissed and perhaps can be used to offset an overall energy plan that includes nuclear as the primary, augmented with coal, solar, wind, and even natural gas.

You must be a coal miner yourself ...

So you are a stray cat, not a kitten.
Fuck me, the last time this happened was in a bar in Puerto Rico.
I see no reason we can not be the LEADER in new techs as we were the leader in innovation for most of the 18th and 19th centuries.
