Coal - Propaganda vs Science

Updated 5/25/11
Here’s The Purely Political Propaganda:


Here’s The Science:
First, note that coal is used to generate 44.5% of our electricity.

Yes, the EPA identifies SO2, NO2 and Particulate Matter as
coal related pollutants.

But, the following EPA chart shows that SO2, NO2 and PM
are FAR below the National Standards and are
DROPPING LIKE A ROCK!

These pollutants have dropped substantially even as the
amount of coal consumed for electricity generation has increased.

I personally created and uploaded the above chart.
The data used in the above chart are found in
this spreadsheet (Summary Statistics for the United States)
downloaded from this page.

There is a regulatory program in place
which promises to further reduce these pollutants.

Coal is BY FAR our most economical way to generate electricity.
This is becoming more true with every passing year.

The truly “smart” idea is to CONTINUE the
remarkable progress in clean coal technologies.

We should, however, abandon the absurdly expensive and utterly unnecessary efforts to sequester CO2. Anyone who does not yet understand why, should click the next image and thereby begin their deprogramming process.

Worried about Climate Change? Don’t!

To blindly embrace a totalitarian political religion which requires us
