@Frederick:
The "outdated" coal industry is far from being outdated.. and clean coal is now doing quite well. I can actually share something about that. Many years ago… while moving south from New York, and driving through New Jersey, there were massive chimneys from factories billowing clouds of black smoke. They have a lot of industry in that area, and it smelled so bad that one had to raise the windows, and hold their nose while driving past them. A few years ago, I went through the same areas, and the factories now spew out billowing white clouds which are steam vapor, and the windows can be opened.
"Clean coal?" lol. CO2 is still CO2 and the amount is the same. And it's this GHG that's warming up our atmosphere. Ironically, ash and other "dirty" particles can collect in the atmosphere, creating clouds, which reflect sunlight, and causing temperatures to decrease. But this cooling effect is short term while the CO2 warming effect is long term.
