Any thoughts on the "Futuregen" project? (clean coal?)?

Question

"Futuregen" is a $1.8 billion project to build a near zero-emission, coal- fired energy plant in Matoon, Illinois.

Answer 1

A good idea up to a point;

unfortunatly it doesn't clean up the coal production

see mountain topping in the Appalachian Mountains

and has more to do with who "funds" the US politicians (note solar energy research as been cut http://www.grist.org/news/).

Answer 2

I agree

Answer 3

Yep, I agree.

Answer 4

Sounds like a good idea. We have a enormous resource of coal in this country.
