re: #214 Cato the Elder

But there is cleaner coal, and since in the real world we’re going to be burning the living shit out of that stuff for at least another century, making it so is a gain.

Pretending it’s not is hogwash.

I do not debate that deploying so called “clean coal” technologies while we switch over to other sources of power and phase coal out is essential. However, the entire point is that a century of clean coal burning is sufficient to push us over a tipping point. It is therefore not an option.
