‘Clean Coal’ for Energy? Not So Fast DOE. : Gas 2.0

Finally, I am hearing someone else say it:

"From an Administration that is attempting to reduce America’s dependence on oil through greenhouse gas emissions reductions, this is one of the—excuse me—stupidest ideas our country has had… at least for today. Look people, coal is NOT clean, even though the coal industry wants you to believe it is."

This isn't the only obvious fact that is overlooked with hopes to call ourselves GREEN that Joanna Schroeder at gas2.0 points out:

"One of the biggest criticisms of electric vehicles (EVs) other than concerns about battery production and recycling, is the fact that a large majority of the EVs that are currently (and in the future) being charged are using electricity created from dirty coal. In many regards, cite pundits of coal use, this negates some of the positive the benefits derived from electric vehicles."

You know what. Just read the article. I don't want them to ban me from their site because I am lifting all the good parts.
