Coal, Technology and the Future of Energy
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2009-03-17/coal-technology-and-future-energy
"Clean coal" is a phrase that gets tossed around a lot in discussions of America's energy future. But that phrase means very different things to different people. To some, clean coal is a green solution to our energy needs; to others, it's a meaningless catch phrase for a technology that doesn't yet exist. We explore what scientific solutions hold the best hope for coal and other carbon-based fuels and how the current political landscape is affecting that debate.
