Clean coal technology is a bunch of bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clean Coal and the environment
Further information: Environmental effects of coal, mountaintop removal mining, and Kingston Fossil Plant coal fly ash slurry spillAccording to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the burning of coal, a fossil fuel, is a major contributor to climate change and global warming. (See the UN IPCC Fourth Assessment Report). As 25.5% of the world's electrical generation in 2004 was from coal-fired generation (see World energy resources and consumption), reaching the carbon dioxide reduction targets of the Kyoto Protocol will require modifications to how coal is utilized.
