      Clean coal technology captures 99% of the carbon when it is burned. Look it up: Ask Chat GPT "According to scientific evidence, what percentage of carbon emissions are captured by clean coal technology."

    Genius! Crippling energy costs and shortages. Well done, who needs affordable energy, cheap Russian energy etc?. Just as their military has been decimated, as goes The UK industry. Sad

    When you burn coal you get carbon monoxide not carbon dioxide. The monoxide is the more poisonous gas of the two.

      you only get carbon monoxide if there is insufficient oxygen. if the there is enough you ay get a small amount but it will be primarily carbon dioxide.
