These folks are going to be extremely pissed

I burned a large stack of books and several large boxes of old reports from the office during March. It works pretty well as long as you get the stove well heated before the paper, then put wood under rhe paper to elevate it and heat it all the way through. If you do it right the outcome is a very small pile of fine white ash. Do it wrong and you have a mess of black char and unburned paper.

That is still true, but not in Amerika
>>They do view coal as dirty, but smart PR from coal producers and energy users could undermine that and pronto.
The Left has countered anything we say with the myth that “Clean Coal is an oxymoron” and the sheeple believe it.
I work for a utility company and we have two 300 MW clean coal units (Circulating Fluidized Bed) that only produce a fraction of the emissions that a conventional coal plant produces. Are we bragging about it? No. We shut them down as much as we can so we can brag about our natural gas units. We produce about 1 MW from solar panels and we brag about that. We produce another MW from landfill methane and we brag about that.
But our 600 MW of clean coal power is like our crazy old aunt that we hide in the attic.
People need to be taught over and over because there are misinformers on our side (and inserted into our side) to make us look anti-science and/or illiterate.
I would start with slides from Christy: http://www.globalwarming.org/2013/05/31/john-christy-climate-change-overview-in-six-slides/
The takeaway is that the warming from CO2 is not a hoax but a non-issue. The small amount of warming so far is a net benefit. Also I would note that climate models predict less storminess, not more.
My understanding is that the warming, if any, caused by CO2 is insignificant and the argument that ‘global climate change’ is driven by human activity absurd. CO2 levels are, in the long history of the earth, at historic lows.
Brag about it or find a company willing to reopen those outstanding shuttered plants. Obama and the Dems won’t hold power forever.

After amnesty they will!
Aah! What could have been, but for the environazis.
