So says the EPA.
This is not to say that clean coal technology is not BACT.
The cost of clean coal can't compete with the current low price of natural gas. If and when the price of natural gas goes up, clean coal can and will become competitive.
As for Obama loving natural gas, I'll go back to what I said in reply #16.
Do a google search of Obama natural gas and look for words love, embrace, promote, praise.
And while you are there, try to find articles where it says that Obama hates natural gas, or is trying to curtail natural gas, or prefers something else. Point them out to me.
If Obama and his minions found that increasing coal production somehow would increase his political power we could count in days if not hours how long it would take for industry stifling restrictions on our nation's most plentiful energy reserve (109 Billion Proved Recoverable Tons). Suddenly coal would be considered the new green energy. Of course since the United States has the world's largest coal reserves and the left still feels that the best way to keep their hand on the jugular of the world's economies is by restricting and taxing energy sources I don't expect any change in policy in the near future.
Here is one of dozens, perhaps hundreds, of such articles;
“U.S. Dithers while World Feasts on New Energy Discoveries “

“Yet here in America, our administration continues to view oil and natural gas development – and U.S.-based technological advances – with hostility. During President Obama’s tenure in office, his administration placed a moratorium on U.S. offshore oil and gas production, refused to approve the Keystone XL pipeline bringing oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries, issued a five-year drilling plan that puts 85 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) off-limits to energy development, and repeatedly proposed to raise taxes on the oil industry, which would have the effect of reducing the industry’s ability to invest in the search for energy.”
