    If it wasn't half tongue-in-cheek, I'd have used a real source!

    There is "clean coal" now, just FYI

    In any case, if you want to reject the concept of science and certainty in the modern age, by all means, do us all a favor and stop using your computer and electricity it needs, and availing yourself of modern medicine. Or was it religion that created those?

    No, there isn't. "Clean Coal" is a failed marketing campaign by the lobbying organizations for the coal industry--a non-existent euphemism.

    Who's forcing anyone to quit buring coal? Is it the same people who are confiscating your guns? For the love of God, why do you write such nonsense? The USA is not going coal free anytime soon. Can you understand that? Will you admit that you understand that?

    Got to love "clean coal." What bullshit that is. Just FYI, no such thing as clean coal, probably never will be.

    Wait, if we don't want to get rid of coal power plants then what is the big solution to save our planet?

    Oh I'll say it again. "GOD DAMN YOU ARE DIM!" You're about the dimmest mother fucker I've ever met. Are you 10? If you're 10 then I'll forgive you. If you're a grown man then this line of reasoning is indefensible. How fucking stupid are you Tg? Do you really think this way IRL or do you just roleplay being stupid on the PC? I hope it's just a roleplay to get attention. I really do.

    What? I asked you a serious question. Cars and power plants account for over 90% of the air pollution in the US. Cars and power plants are about equal in terms of air pollution.

    Since you would have to be an idiot to want to tackle the 10% from other sources you either need to do something about cars or energy sources. Since it would be near impossible to get 200 million plus drivers to either drive less or buy more fuel efficient vehicles or stop driving altogether the simpler solution would be to go after dirty power plants.

    But you just said no one wants to force anyone to quit burning coal so...what's your solution? I can't help but notice you're acting like a wounded animal again; offering up no real solutions or even defending your own arguments, rather you're just attacking anyone who approaches.
