That would probably be the only way to get coal clean in any measure without an overhaul of the entire industry and its practices, not to mention the invention of a lot of highly impressive technology... which puts me in mind of a two-part episode of <I>Doctor Who</I> where some evil aliens got 400 million humans to install a GPS/carbon eliminating system in their cars, which turned their cars into zero carbon emissions vehicles... But it all backfired when the aliens flipped a switch and simultaneously released all the poisonous gases the devices had filtered out over the many months they were installed in the cars, causing people to die from asphyxia in major metropolitan areas all over the world... or would have, if the Doctor hadn't been on the case...<BR/><BR/>But yeah... completely nonsensical.RaeShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841066344380185598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14618504.post-49072256713200709112008-10-26T16:42:00.000-04:002008-10-26T16:42:00.000-04:00There have been endless discussions of this subjec...There have been endless discussions of this subject at the office, and every time it comes up, I get a mental picture of a little man with a toothbrush, scrubbing away at lumps of coal to make them all nice and clean.<BR/><BR/>Since coal is carbon, and the point of so-called clean coal is to reduce carbon, isn't the whole idea rather nonsensical? :pLa Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745541233323063923noreply@blogger.com
