Since when is a CEO of a coal company an authority on environmental impact? I suppose it's whatever fits someone's agenda. Reminds me of that video of the 'Weather Channel CEO admitting climate change is not real'. I don't see how this claim is any different. Let science answer the questions, not CEOs.
- enraged_camel 9y agoNot all CEOs are empty suits. Some have to know a shit ton about their subject matter in order to make good decisions. The remarkable thing about a coal CEO saying clean coal is bullshit is that it is seemingly against his own interest. CEOs rarely speak out publicly against their company's own product. It's the equivalent of Philip Morris eventually coming out and admitting that smoking causes cancer.
- mrstone 9y agoI don't mean it fits the CEOs interests, but rather the people who spread this around.
- IncRnd 9y agoIt's the other way around. It is in his own interest to say this, not against his own interest. He clearly said that clean coal raises costs. That means that costs would be lower without clean coal. Lower costs are in his own best interest.
