Started with a problem on the train, spread to the bridge and then the coal.

There’s no such thing as clean coal; the enviroweenies said so!

[JimRed]

Mr. GG2 holds a patent on a gasification process that will burn coal so clean you cannot believe it. He pitched it to the govt. several years ago. Not interested.

Why to the government? Wouldn't private industry take more of an interest, if there's profit potential?

[thackney]

if there's profit potential?

That would be the deciding factor. If it needs a subsidy or government mandate to be used...

pitched it to the govt.

Anyways, the lumber was a total loss, and the fire was so hot that the steel on the 73’ A Frame car bent/melted from the heat.

Wait a minute- that's impossible! The Bush-did-9/11- and fire-can't-melt-steel crowd say so! < /sarc >

There are quite a few private corporations who are interested but nobody is putting out any money on new processes right now. They won’t until we get a new administration who can give them some kind of reassurance as to what to expect down the road.

America has too much coal. If we use it to become energy liberated, well you can see what that might do to our enemies abroad.

[1010RD]

Or we need more CO2?
