Aaah! Beautiful clean coal! I love it! It's shiny texture! The smooth bituminous blackness! The smell, oh the smell, there is nothing like it! But at least since 1974, science has indeed explored coal's deeper dimensions and unlocked its vast possibilities. It has found that coal can be beautiful and clean in the ground, so that it shall not cause mass extinction and the end of civilization. Best not allow it to do that, it would not be great at all. We just cannot destroy coal's wonder and beauty by burning it.
It interesting, and easy when looking back, to question coal's claim that nuclear has dubious environmental consequences. Coal has a higher carbon to hydrogen ratio in it's molecular structure than any other fossil fuel, while nuclear has zero carbon emissions.
RON. Nothing has zero carbon emissions. It's mined, handled, transported, processed and ultimately reprocessed or stored/buried. There will have been a carbon based fuel used somewhere in that. Personally I don't give a chuff about carbon emissions, they only matter if you believe in man made global warming. Coal burning boiler emissions have been sprayed to remove sulphur. We used fluidised beds in the boiler with limestone chippings to remove chlorine. Electrostatic charges are used to remove any fly ash. The polluting elements from the burn have been removed, now the problem is CO2. Don't look at what the great and the good said look at what they have done. Remember all the rising sea levels that go hand in hand with global warming? Where is Al Gore's house? Where is Barack Obama's new $16M house? How much money has been invested in the Seychelles in the last 30 years? They have an awful lot of faith in man to conquer the problems, or they might have just been talking shite?
Nuclear has the very highest carbon footprint of all. All other ways of energy production combined still wouldn't begin to equal nuclear. Remember, you have to include everything, from the mining of uranium to maintaining waste disposal for the next umpity millions of years.
An enormous amount of the planet is now permanently dead from radiation and the oxygen-producing phytoplankton of the planetary ocean are dying off. Just in case anyone has forgotten the Fukushima ELE...
Not since the Asteroid Impact ELE of 66 million years ago has anything caused so much slaughter of life as the Fukushima ELE. And the Fukushima ELE is still only in its very initial stages. Still many, many, many thousands of years to run its course.
If tomorrow the US got all its electricity from solar, wind an unicorn farts we would still be mining coal. It is needed to make steel, some medicines are made from it and it will still be burnt to make electricity long after I am dead. Somthing has to power all those electric cars they are pushing after all.
You are probably a trust fund baby who has taken your boyfriend's view passed on to him from one of our billionaires who sent all the factories abroad so they can make more money. Leaving the USA with a bunch of unskilled and unmotivated people.
Some 40+ years later, we now are a leading producer and exporter of energy from natural gas and oil...who knew?

The use of coal will not bring about mass extinction! Mankind’s SIN is the problem and the ignorance to believe that this earth is Man’s!
Still true today. Beautiful
muy boniro documental, saludos desde mexico
veri nice documentari, greetin's from mexico
come to Schuylkill county P.A to Anthracite coal area and see how they reclaimed the land,,,they didnt
The money was spent cleaning up Three Mile Island.
Come to southwest Indiana I can show you many places that are better than they found and mined them.
My uncle murlin lived in tower city, and you can still go see an old coal field.

@@COIcultist The arctic permafrost is massively thawing like crazy. And so are the methane hydrates.
One of you tree huggers wish to explain to me if plants respirate Co2 and so does burning coal, how is this bad for us again??
_You_ are the carbon they want to reduce.

The most outrageous propaganda - glad the industry is on its knees and quickly vanishing.
go refill your sippy cup and take your nap in your parent's basement. someday if you ever move out, you may understand energy a little clearer

Hey bud🖕. Give it 20 years and you would not even know the area was mined.
