Cant say we didnt try to make coal clean. Turns out its more expensive than its worth and commercial operations dont see any benefit. Time for Manchin and his constituents to read the writing on the wall and get over coal.
- dnautics 5y agoThe thing is "clean coal" is not totally crazy, there's no scientific reason you couldn't separate hydrocarbons from coal and create a fuel that emits only CO2 -- it's just as an engineering, technical and economic task it turns out it really doesn't make sense, for the particular coal deposits that exist on the earth and/ot are economical to mine. At some level you could argue it wasn't unreasonable to give it 'the old college try'.
