Clean Coal Plants

First, Examine how the coal is obtained. What is excavated under the earth, human health at risk and the risk to human life, or of coal after removing the excess burden (earth, grass, trees - something at the top of the coal industry) . While the first direct threat to life and health problems and permanent reduction and underground fire, the latter is more harmful and possibly even long term.

The latest tactic tried by the coal industry is to develop clean coal plants- in fact, large companies have their headquarters in St. Louis and some parts of US- is the removal of the entire range of mountains and dumping over burden on local streams. Even if someone with half a brain can see that it is detrimental to water quality and aquatic life, the Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the practice is not a violation of the Clean Water Act.

production of coal doesn't pollute environment but it could be help ful for getting direct solar energy and renewable source of energy to generate power thats the reason many companies are planning to develop the clean coal plants.

Secondly, clean coal technology in this country is still on the drawing board. Is experimental. In theory sounds good. The climate damaging gases - carbon dioxide, especially - are removed from the stack and stored underground or pumping areas cavernosum. Storage of tons of carbon dioxide is produced, to say the least, problematic. However, the cavernous zones, there are - some predict natural gas, where a little salt. The vast areas are not always where power would be, it is assumed that the pipes would handle it.

But if a clean-coal plant was proposed in the east-central Illinois right on top of a large cavernous area, organized jointly by the Department of Energy and various utility companies, the Department of Energy's funding, with the threat with the price of the Bank . FutureGen, as it was originally estimated to cost 1.8 billion U.S. dollars - a sum in itself - but the rising cost of steel and concrete balloon the budget, and the Department of Energy blinked.

Several European countries have the potential of clean coal plants, but the best I could control is the only clean coal plants already in operation worldwide is in Germany - and the plant is very small and operated in a trial or experimental basis. Suffice it to say that the jury is still not on whether the investment of labor. At least three years before results are known.

This is what clean coal - an unproven technology, an experiment that can not work.

So, if all ads from the Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, I do not think that's what the ads have to say - everything is based on hope and hype.

But this day is still not there. Currently, regardless of all the dreams and plans, there is no such thing as clean coal. It is proven effective thgrough Linc Energy clean coal plants.
