Brett,
Actually there is new technology in coal powered powerplants. They are called "Futuregen." The first is being built about 70 miles southwest of us in Mattoon Illinois and has virtually no emmissions. From the burning coal, Hydrogen and CO2 emmissions are made. The CO2 is then compressed and pumped into salt domes in the ground. The hydrogen is then sold for fuel as well. Not really coal related but very interesting and prommising.
