Researchers have discovered a stunning new process that takes the energy from coal without burning it -- and removes virtually all of the pollution.
The clean coal technique was developed by scientists at The Ohio State University, with just $5 million in funding from the federal government, and took 15 years to achieve.
“We’ve been working on this for more than a decade,” Liang-Shih Fan, a chemical engineer and director of OSU’s Clean Coal Research Laboratory, told FoxNews.com, calling it a new energy conversion process. “We found a way to release the heat from coal without burning.”
The process removes 99 percent of the pollution from coal, which some scientists link to global warming. Coal-burning power plants produced about one-third of the nation’s carbon dioxide total in 2010, or about 2.3 billion metric tons, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This could put a crimp in Obozo's plan for America. A new discovery that advances, in a positive manner, the "trickle-down" benefits of our capitalist system. The Oval Office does not now have a happy camper in the driver's seat! If this process were patented, rights to use the process could be sold to other countries and I can see our debt-load starting to dwindle. A source that, in and of itself, also nullifies a new energy source in America from criticism by the "global warming" and "carbon" lobby critics and enviro-wacko contingent. And as a side bonus it will make Bad AlGorithms' phony trading in "carbon credits", which only works by placing a value on pollution to encourage trading in units of it, an unwise investment. Let's call this the "Anti-Rahm" strategy. The taking advantage of using a crisis to develop a POSITIVE solution. Works for me as a right-wing agenda!
I'm definitely likin' the potential for this new discovery. Good to see FoxNews, our only major "Fair and Balanced" news source, out front on this.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— As part of President Obama’s all-of-the-above approach to American energy, the Energy Department announced that nine universities have won awards for research projects that will continue to support innovation and development of clean coal technologies.
“Advancing the development of clean coal technologies is an important part of President Obama’s strategy to develop every source of American energy and ensure the United States leads the world in the global clean energy race and continues to take advantage of domestic resources here at home,” said U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu. “These university research projects will help build on extensive progressive made by this Administration to promote innovative technologies that help make coal-fired energy cleaner and more cost-competitive, while training the next generation of scientists and engineers in cutting-edge clean coal technologies.”
Wind is polluted, and solar is radioactive and causes melanin.
Both are passive sources of energy, the only reason the air is polluted is due to humans polluting it. But that doesn't change the fact that both produce constant energy.
