Is Coal Dirty? Some Facts on Coal Combustion
We are winning the war about Man-made Global Warming.
But about half of the population still think that the carbon tax will do some good. Why? It is all about “cleaning up dirty coal energy”.
The seeds of public concern were sewn with Penny Wong’s Machiavellian linking of “carbon” and “pollution”. She was assisted by the gross stupidity of the coal industry leadership in promoting nonsense like carbon sequestration as a “clean coal” option. The public naturally assumed “if they need to spend billions to produce “clean coal”, obviously we are now using “dirty coal”. This generation of coal industry leaders is more culpable than the greens – they should have known better – they have betrayed their shareholders, their employees and the nation.
The whole “dirty coal” program was assisted by the continual portrayal by alarmist media and
government propagandists of power station cooling towers belching “pollution”. As carbon
dioxide is an invisible gas, this is clearly a lie. What is seen are clouds of water vapour with no
more pollution potential than wispy white cumulus clouds or boiling dark nimbus thunderheads.
The climax of this all was a letter published in the Queensland Times of Ipswich, a town founded on coal mining, describing carbon dioxide as “one of many lethal pollutants released by coal combustion”.
