Cool, I wasn't talking about cost though. I asked if coal could be made clean enough to compete with other forms of energy generation in that context.

- ouid 9y agoclean coal is basically as clean as solar, but the fact that it's on demand energy means that's it's not really competing with solar.
- castis 9y agoThey're only even close to each other because of the initial hit the solar panel produces while its being created. If we were to continue forward with solar power, would the energy needed to melt silicon not eventually come from a wholly renewable source?
