| - See, coal has received a bad reputation in the past, but it's been really unfair. Sure, mistakes have been made, but now that those mistakes have been cleared up, it's time to look forward to this new era of clean coal. It's coal for the 21st century, and all the treehuggers should learn to love it. They should also learn to deal with the fact that getting to all this wonderful clean coal will involve blasting the tops off a few mountains, which isn't really such a big deal.
- "Clean coal" is a plan to remove all carbon dioxide from the mining, transportation and burning of coal in industry and electricity generating power stations. The goal is to pump this CO2 deep under the ground into old gas and water deposits, where it will be trapped forever. So the coal will be "clean" and "green". There are various small-scale trials going on around the world. Scientists and Governments are desperately hoping that they can make this work, and work cheaply, to take advantage of the vast amounts of coal that still exist on the planet.

The alternative, which many think is a better idea, is to spend the money on research and development of other non-polluting and renewable sources of energy, eg, solar, wind, water and geothermal.
