The conclusion comes amid broad scientific backing for using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as global energy leaders increasingly call for accelerating deployment of the technology. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=571 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=571 2010-08-02 17:01:32 Coal is the hands-down winner as the world's fastest growing fuel of the "Aughts." That's the conclusion of the 2010 BP Statistical Review of World Energy. The industry’s comprehensive analysis of international energy trends reports a stunning fact: demand for a single mature commodity – coal – expanded by nearly 46 percent in the past decade, outpacing every alternative. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=570 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=570 2010-08-02 17:00:41 Broad deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies in the next 40 years will increase U.S. Gross Domestic Product by $2.7 trillion, create 28 million job-years over four decades from new construction, and support 800,000 permanent jobs related to operation and maintenance of these facilities, delivering the ultimate economic stimulus for a low-carbon economy. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=568 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=568 2010-08-02 16:59:41 An innovative solution to capture and store carbon dioxide that’s being advanced by a Silicon Valley start-up is based on what some might call a simple chemical reaction. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=403 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=403 2009-06-23 16:49:48 In a recent Wall Street Journal article on U.S. coal reserves, a spokesperson for the U.S. Geological Survey is quoted as saying, “We really can’t say we’re the Saudi Arabia of coal anymore.” Oh really…Since when? Of course we can – and we are. America has enough coal to power our economy for the next century and beyond. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=349 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=349 2009-05-17 17:06:29 Here at the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), we started the Factuality Tour, a multi-stop, cross-country tour and video blog, to tell the true story of coal in America — from mine to plug. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=284 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=284 2009-04-03 17:00:15 Citizens with good access to electricity are far more likely to live longer, eat better and enjoy a higher education. Yet more than 2 billion people around the world lack adequate access to electricity. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=232 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=232 2009-02-11 10:26:16 The Question: “How can we obtain enough NG at affordable prices to (1) power over 400,000 MW of NG based generation capacity, (2) heat tens of millions of homes and buildings, (3) meet the needs of manufacturing and agriculture, and (4) make ethanol, fertilizer and other energy related products? The Answer: We can’t. http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=88 http://www.coalcandothat.com/content.php?view=88 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This is a summary of the blog posting.

As the debate proceeds, it will behoove all Americans to remember the crucial role electricity plays in our prosperity and quality of life. In 1999, the American Academy of Engineering labeled electricity the “single most important engineering achievement of the past century”. And no wonder, electricity is the lifeblood of our modern society.
