Double A This post has the heading that Progress Energy over billed its
Florida customers,and do not have to give a penny back. Channel 9
news(CBS) proved this and reported it. Now Progress Energy runs two
minute costly adds on how burning clean coal is helping to keep energy
costs down. All run on CBS channel 9 news. Tried to call them and was
put on hold. I waited 15 minutes hung up and tried calling again and
again,but was put on a phone block. Get the picture ? TreBert


As you know, there's no such thing as clean coal. Not even synfuel
via coal can be considered clean when you account for the 3~6 tonnes
of conventional coal required per tonne of usable synfuel (low grade
or poor quality coal taking as much as 10:1).

"The hype and hope of clean coal"

This does not even mention the radiation elements distributed into our
surface environment, the vast amounts of atmospheric consumption and
NOx created, or the insurmountable toxic coal tar fiasco that's beyond
any superfund hope, plus there’s any number of uncontained underground
coal fires, though otherwise is a good enough article on how downright
nasty and environmentally spendy coal really is.
