Companies researching, building and operating combined cycle turbine generators running on syngas from coal gasification beg to differ. It might not be as clean as windmills or natural gas, but it's still cleaner than existing coal burning plus when you're not generating electricity you can create diesel, etc. from the gas. Coal is going to be around for decades to come simply because of the scale of existing capacity and the abundance of it. Coming up with tech to retrofit to existing coal using stuff that improves the efficiency of extracting energy from it is a smart thing to do, but it's not to say we can't do other things at the same time.

Nevermind the premier of SA Mike Rann, who took the Commonwealth to court over the decision to site the repository in SA and won... it was all the fault of John Howard!

Impress is to Powerpoint as Powerpoint is to Keynote.

Nothing.
