Alert!!! Obama's "clean coal technology is anything but.

[LETSFIGHTBACK]

It is too long to list, but listen to my show. the link is on my info page.

because Obama's "clean coal technology is anything but. how this toxic coal sludge is used in everyday products by big business like toothpaste,wallboard, rugs, bowlingballs etc, and how business is in bed with congress and the administation [shocking] to stop it from being classified as "HAZARDOUS" with will kill profits. plus US jobless claims point to protracted recsession again shocking.

Obama's ben fighting for clean coal since his Senate days.

clean coal is an oxymoron

Unless clean coal is going to knock down some enormous rainforests or displace people, there are probably bigger problems to worry about.

Clean coal is no different than regular coal mining. It's a scam and Obama is in bed with some of the "clean" coal industries that are based in Illinois.

This whole corporate sustainability and glossing over the same industries with a green paint job is pissing me off. All these fat cats have done is cut done a bit on emissions which they are now trading on the stock market and use buzz words to hide the fact that they're still as environmentally unsound as ever.

This liberal greening shit has got to end.

A good example of what "clean" coal does.

Clean coal lobby did a good job keeping the news story lightly covered. There were a handful of stories I remember, but they stopped covering it in a matter of days.

Oh, really, well why don't you tell that to all the people in kingston, Tennessee that had a billion gallons of gray-black coal sludge at an earthen dam collapse at a storage pond, destroyed nearby homes and poisoning the water. you don't see the bigger corporate picture, do you.

"clean coal" is a blanket statement and varied. My understanding is that obama is an advocate of something called "carbon capture and storage" which takes co2 emissions from coal plants and turns them into liquid. that liquid can then just be put into the earth instead of throwing it into the atmosphere as a gas. the democratic governor of montana is a huge advocate of it as I recall.

The point is we do not need coal period. if you would get all the feft over ash and pour it on a football field, it would be 20 miles high. Obama and the whores in congress do not want this cancerous poison classified as hazardous. it is right now classified as non hazardous.and the lobbyists, so far, have paid, for example evan bayh $126,000 to leave coal ash regulation to the states.

What really needs doing is nationalisation of the energy industry. That way research into making renewables more practical can be removed from the profit incentive. If in the short term the environmental damage caused by coal-burning stations can be offset, that's good. With proper funding and diligence, coal shouldn't be necessary for that much longer anyhow.

And at the present time, the UK does need coal for electricity generation. Ideally, renewable sources would supply, but the privatisation of the generating board subdivided such research into petty and ineffectual business interests. I prefer the idea of coal to nuclear because of the volume of waste material caused by the latter, combined with our old friend the corner-cutter making disposal as cavalier as he can. Maybe it's because my dad works in a coal-burning station, maybe it's because I've been playing Metal Gear Solid since I was a lad, but I find the idea of the whole world looking like Norfolk, with its barren fields of dusty earth and bald children with six fingers, terrifying.

think about the ash, this coal sludge leaching into the water with it's arsenic, mercury, cadmium and produces monstorous amounts of deadly compounds and gasses.here is a choice, solar and wind energy.but here is the problem under capitalism, you can't own the sun and the wind. BUT GIVE THEM TIME, THEY'LL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SAY THEY OWN IT.
