Cleaner Coal

Our friends at Arch Coal tell us that the use of coal to meet America’s electricity demand nearly tripled between 1970 and 2000. But thanks to investments in clean coal technologies, emissions of criteria air pollutants (those defined by the Clean Air Act as having a negative impact on human health) declined by more than 30% during that same time period, according to the U.S. EPA, and, thanks to improved technology are expected to decrease an additional 70% over the next 10 years.

The overall message is that coal is here to stay so we need to make it cleaner and more efficient.
