re: #276 Bagua

Coal has been getting cleaner and cleaner as things advance. I don’t buy the propaganda. We need a frantic effort to build coal plants if our economy is to survive the coming decades.

Sadly, no. Coal is the least viable option in the long term. For one thing, there is only 200 years of it left, at present consumption rates. Then what?

It spews mercury. It spews massively more NOx, SOx, particulates, and CO2 for KwH produced than natural gas.
