Coal as a clean energy source!!!! who knew?!?!
I hate this man, the whole section on new fuel sources is essentially all other fossil fuels except oil and nuKULER power and a dash of solar power. This is what they prepared for, this is what they wanted to share with not only the country but the world. Its like they are not even TRYING to pass off as a legitimate gov't. Strike that they never have. Clean coal???? well slap me around and call me susan!!! Who knew?? thank you Resident Georgie for that information, i will quickly head to my nearest coal mine and work to stop using dem foreigner's oil. Man i hate him.

1. Democrats advocate clean coal
Democrats advocate biofuel, and I've seen people bitch about that. Some people bitch about wind because the turbines kill birds. Some say nuclear is the best source for the cleanest energy.

For every solution, there's some group somewhere who will come along and tell you that it won't work or is just as bad as what we have now.

Even burning logs in caves would pollute the world with as many people as we've got now. There's no perfect solution, if we want to be electricity.

3. Can be cleaned in stack, but CO2 still a problem he ignores.
Scrubbers can be placed in the smoke stacks. BUT, when the CONs took over, they stopped the requirement. (Clinton had made them do it if they wanted to make other improvements, so they made their other improvements and scoffed at the law, waiting for CONs to take over.)

But, they cannot stop the coal burning from releasing CO2.
