By that definition, the group can call any newer coal-based power plant clean. "Clean Coal" also refers to coal burning power plants that capture and store the excess, preventing it from contributing to climate change.

Of course they are also planning to burn ever-more coal to produce electricity. If these plans materialize, green chemistry and renewable solar energy both will be sidelined for the rest of this century. sorry but...coal for electricity...is a 'human development error' made long ago...when knowledge limited, infrastructure lacking while need for energy escalating...so we went for it as thought it a workable solution...

He opens a door and it's a barron outside seen. At the end there is a slogan "Reality, there's no such thing as clean coal" Denny,
