Just remember that there is far more to coal than just power.
I agree and if they could clean up coal emissions to a reasonable standard then I don't see a problem with coal fired power plants, as I have said before governments should set the standards they require from a plant and let technology and innovation determine what gets built.
I am very anti the idea of eliminating energy sources from processes because they are currently to dirty as this stifles research into making them cleaner.
Excellent post. This is a great example of the challenge that forward thinking liberals face.
Your dissatisfaction with the aesthetics of wind power. Faced with a renewable power source that does not pollute you are concerned with aesthetics.
Not entirely true while I don't like the idea of building bloody great ugly things of any kind in anyones backyard I am also not a fan of systems that use vast tracks of land for a low output generator as with growing populations worldwide land will also be at a premium one day for either settlement or food production.
I think the problem is that people are solely focused on the "clean" part and are not looking at all other aspects of these projects.
