Oh but I didn't say our society's hands are clean. My money simply goes to the odds of what "cultures" most in ours might find reprehensible. And as for those in our society who do those things? My money is on most peopl

Can anyone comment about how liquefied coal is currently used or could be used? As I understand, the resulting products burn much cleaner. I'm not sure if this would reduce their CO2 emissions, but it should at least reduce other pollu
