I found this article very interesting. Since the conference McCloskey decided to engage with them I can only hope that Greenpeace saw this as a great opportunity to engage people in the coal industry and were not too rabid in there presentation for the sake of the few who may be receptive. I mean like we all know clean coal is a risky technology, I just hope they presented a good logical argument as to why and not just said clean coal is evil and associated purely emotive arguments.

The sad part are the miners who die from working the coal and the rest of us breathing the exhaust from the power plants. Anyone in favor of coal can volunteer to go into a mine to rescue workers when there is an accident: either put up and rescue the workers, or shut up and stop mining.
