Not 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.

- 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.
