   After hearing the Palin response to burning our way out of our energy needs I am a bit puzzled why she did not call it clean coal?
   there is nothing clean about coal. and clean coal is a coal industry buzz word for an reverse underground smoke stack thats it.

   Clean as far as the air for now but it will take over 20% energy to turn it into a liquid and then bury it. thats not clean and the envioirmental risk can be devestating to ground water and leakage.

   Those old coal states can retool to the newer renewable energy options and move away from coal. Some enviormentalist agree that what industry calls clean coal should be developed to add to existing coal burning plants and some are not. China would be the perfect example to transfer this tec as they have enourmous energy needs and we can add them here very carefully with a work plan to close them also in time.
   The state of Mi for example has old caol despratly seeking to build one two maybe more out of several proposed sites that were recently wittled down by the state based on need not greed and recently one coal exec said they would not convert to new renewables like the example set by a western state, CO.
   If that industry had its way in Mi they would build perhaps several in this state and they slash out at the enviormentalist as tree huggers and unrealistic to counter the no coal people.

   We must not build new coal plants and then wait for the cure though this is possible but why do so when there are known renewables that can produce energy like wind solar and tidal turbines.
