  1. It is technically feasible to collect 100% of suit particles and up to 95% of carbon gas. What is actually done with the carbon is a separate issue and there are solutions for that as well. And at this present time it is just as viable as using solar, nuclear and wind. Are you suggesting that these other methods are more viable. With the right energy strategy coal, solar, wind, nuclear and geothermal would all be used. I am not suggesting 100% generation via coal.

  2. That was due to the fact that fission has issues that fusion does not. Fission still has a future but we did not have the right types of technology to deal with it but we are now starting to develop them.

  3. Clean coal that is scrubbed by Nano-tech filtration systems could enable coal plants that can reduce carbon emissions to 0. Systems at present can reduce up 95% carbon and 100% suit particles are being built and developed.

  4. There are liquid and wave breeder systems today that cannot have a fallout. Fusion also does not have any risk of fallout it is impossible. Fusion is the future there is at least millions of years of fusion based power out there and there is no long last radio active waste. There are breeder systems that can also use the current waste to make energy and they are very low risk and would get rid of all the waste we currently have.

  5. I asked you a straight up question is solar more viable than coal from an environmental point of view. CO2 that will come from coal power stations will be very small. And I did not say 100% power generation from coal. Clean coal has the ability to reduce current coal and fossil fuel station by up to 90% and also with a massive reserve.

  6. All of the energy systems have dirt associated with them at some level. Coal emissions can be filtered and the CO2 can be used for industrial processes. Using coal as centralized power sources make more sense than using gas and oil in some circumstances. Do you think that solar is more viable than coal.

  7. We are not ready yet for Fission would not have the technology to deal with the issues that it brings. Fusion is at a stage that FIssion was in the 1940-50s it will require research and when it is technically feasible it will be every were. Coal will also make a come back as well.
