I am joining the ”’Reality Corps”’ and blogging about the oxymoron of clean coal………my definition of clean coal is a very nice child molestor!!! There is NO such thing as clean coal==PERIOD!!!!!
The coal companies can try and spend their money to convince you the child molestor named ”clean coal” is a nice guy but he is still a dirty little polluter who will harm your children!!! Be smart, tell the coal companies where to pack their own crap called ”clean coal”!
Coal companies seem to be spending their money marketing coal as “clean” rather than actually making it clean. This has got to stop. That’s why we’re calling them out boldly and publicly on their rhetoric. We’re expecting a major response from the coal industry, and we need your help.
The tag line and core message of the Reality campaign is simply “In Reality, there’s no such thing as clean coal” — highlighting that in America today, no such thing exists. We’re insisting that the coal industry do more than “talk the talk,” but that they now “walk the walk.” We’re challenging them to immediately invest in the technologies that can stop carbon pollution from entering the atmosphere. Over 600 coal plants operate now without such controls and more than 60 new dirty plants are proposed. None of these plants are “clean.”
We’re going to need your help to get out the word, because the coal industry has a lot of money and resources to move their message. Today, to start, we’re asking folks simply to sign up to help — to join the movement and help form a new “Reality Corps.”

People ask me WHY are you so jacked up about China Wind Power??? Answer:::its a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to make a fortune over time. APWR is my horse and the pony ran 28% in the last two days!!!
Meanwhile, China could well be on its way to blowing the U.S. out of the water when it comes to harnessing wind energy.
This is a rare energy success story for a country whose carbon emissions were recorded as the highest in the world last year, according to the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.
But the Chinese energy revolution has been quietly gaining strength, observers say.
Like their American counterparts, Chinese tycoons are increasingly directing their investment into renewable power.
Zhu Yuguo, ranks at 102 on the Forbes China Rich List, with a personal fortune of 5.71 billion Yuan and has invested heavily in the wind power industry.
Steve Sawyer of the Global Wind Energy Council said: “China’s wind energy market is unrecognizable from two years ago.”
“It is huge, huge, huge. But it is not realized yet in the outside world,” Sawyer said in an interview with London’s Guardian newspaper.
China’s wind generation has increased by more than 100 percent per year since 2005 and 20 per cent of the power supply to the venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will come from wind generators, according to the official state agency, Xinhua.
It was initially hoped the country would generate 5 gigawatts of wind by 2010, but that goal was met three years early in 2007. The 2010 goal has now been revised to 10 gigawatts but experts say this could well hit 20 gigawatts.
The Guanting Wind Farm in Beijing has installed capacity of 64.5 megawatts and has supplied 35 million kilowatts of electricity to Beijing so far.
The wind farm is estimated to supply 100 million KWH per year to Beijing, or 300,000 KWH per day, enough to satisfy the consumption of 100,000 households.
However, China still relies heavily on using coal, which supplies 70 per cent of China’s energy needs.
But Junfeng Li of the China Renewable Energy Industries Association has a more optimistic outlook.
In a paper last month, he wrote: “China is witnessing the start of a golden age of wind power development and the magnitude of the growth has caught policymakers off guard.
“It is widely believed that wind power will be able to compete with coal generation by as early as 2015.”
