Every clean coal initiative has shutdown because the tech can't work and it makes cleaner fuels or green sources so competitive there is no financial reason to keep coal plants online.

Coal as we knew it is dead and it won't be back.

Bad news, clean coal and carbon capture are myths. They are the things coal companies talk about to ease the guilt of destroying the planet.

It's clean coal a oxymoron. Like dry water or cold fire

Clean coal and carbon credits are lies but carbon capture is worth pursuing.
