This whole thing is SO STUPID!

As I type, Duke Energy is retrofitting coal burning plants all across the southeast so that their emissions are 99% pure STEAM.

You heard me… nothing but WATER comes from the smokestacks.

All of the byproducts of the coal-burning process are processed and turned into USABLE products, such as wall board and cinder blocks.

Coal-burning is becoming one of the very cleanest ways to produce power. The retrofitting and plans for new plants are all configured to be VERY VERY GREEN.

Obama is an idiot and a fool.

Wallboard made of carbon dioxide? What have you been smoking? When you say Obama’s a fool, it’s important to not give factually impossible nonsense as supporting evidence for that opinion.

It may just barely be possible to sequester CO2 from coal fired plants underground. While that would make the coal “green”, it doesn’t make the CO2 usable.
