Clean coal? that is stupid.

Drilling for oil is a great idea. the bears will be fine what do they care if an oil rig is around for?

Answer 6

Your first mistake was reading wikipedia for information.

But, you are somewhat correct, burning coal will never be a clean process. The goal in clean coal is to reduce or eliminate sulfur & nitrogen oxides and particulates. CO2, what some believe causes the greenhouse effect, is the biggest potential hazard to the atmosphere and is also the most difficult to contain due to the high cost.

So, while absolute clean coal is an oxymoron, the process of burning coal in a cleaner manner than what's presently done is possible & should be developed on a wide-scale basis.

As for the polar bears, the area where drilling is proposed is virtually uninhabited. What wildlife is there can adapt.

Edit: I hope you don't think I implied you're an idiot. I agree with you about coal being a bad idea, although that's what we have for the time being...I've read the same stuff about dwindling ice caps, but you cannot honestly say it's because of global warming, that may be your opinion/belief, but you don't know it. There are plenty of respected scientists who believe global warming doesn't exist, isn't caused by man, or that it's even harmful to the planet. So, if top scientists disagree on it, how could we possibly know? The truth is, no one knows for sure, but common sense dictates we should be mindful of what we put in our atmosphere..

Who you callin a moron... you look up 1 wiki and your on top of it now huh? Clean coal is a much more efficient cleaner way of using coal to create power. Maybe if you lefties would go ahead and go to Europe where they use Nuclear we could get our "clean" nuclear going hear.

I'm sure Palin could educate you on polar bears if it's possible to educate you.

Answer 9

By CLEAN Coal she means Coal that has not come from conflicted zones like "Blood Diamonds" (they are not diamonds with blood but diamonds where there has been Human Rights Violated) have u ever watched that movie! What happens to diamond happens to coals too. She want coals to come from legal factories where peopole are not abused and are earning more than just minimum wage. She's an incredible woman!

Answer 10

idiot global warming isn't even happening any more.  Soon it will be global cooling again...

Answer 11

Yes drill more, and use coal, to power the generators, that provide power to the computer you are using to ask stupid questions

Answer 12

Will it be enough if, gosh forbid, when all the United Socialist States of America is all crumble, and nothing's left? All because our 'OMG BLACK ROCKING MESSIAH' couldn't defend us during time at war. Then will it be enough?
