One quarter of the world’s coal reserves are in the United States. The energy content of the nation’s coal resources exceeds that of all the world’s known recoverable oil. www.energy.gov During his campaign for the Presidency, George W. Bush pledged to commit $2 billion over 10 years to advance clean coal technology Dept. of Energy, Electric Power Research Institute, Coal Utilization Research Council Critical Technology Needs Integrated Plants Module designs, Systems Integration, high temperature materials, Plant Simulation Capability, sensors & controls, intelligent plant operation CARBON CAPTURE POLITICS In the coming years, power companies are to build about 150 coal plants to meet the growing electricity demand. Despite expectations almost none of the plants will be built to capture the thousands of tons of carbon dioxide that will be generated. NYT, Feb. 20, 2007
