Clean coal? Really?
I don't know why a developed and rich country as the USA produces eletric energy by burning coal. That's a very dirty source of energy which causes atmosferic polution and a vast array of human diseases. Why the government of USA do not stimulates energy companies to develop sources of renewable energy? Here in Brazil, a developing country, the bulk of electricity is generated by hidropower. In the other hand, Germany, which is one of the most developed countries in the world, takes its electricity from sunlight, an excellent renewable source of energy. I suspect that the coal still is used as an energy source in the USA due to the finantial interests of american electricity companies. This suspicion makes me wonder if firms' profits are more important than people's health or a balanced environment. By the way, “clean coal” do not exists. It refers to a costly method of energy generation, which ultimately is afforded by the american consumer.

I also completely agree with you- as a planet we really need to be looking towards using more renewable sources of energy. Lauren

This is an interesting entry. I often wonder the same thing. Not only as it pertains to the source of energy but also as it pertains to the profits of an individual firm being more important than the health of the citizens or people in general. I guess, unfortunately, some people are more concerned with their success then the path they choose to obtain that success and the effect it has on their societies. :/
Great entry though. :)!!
