The coal vs natural gas is important because it points up another instance where Clinton took action that favored Enron and Bush took the opposite stance.

Bush made it a campaign promise to seek new technology for cleaner burning coal to make use of our own coal deposits.

Thanks, found the info here: Enron's India Disaster

"To secure supplies of liquefied natural gas for the project, Enron lobbied New Delhi to change its tariff system, which had been designed to discourage energy imports. Enron got India to slash its duty on imports of liquefied natural gas from 105 percent to 15 percent.

"With those changes approved, Enron brokered a deal with Qatar to provide the Dabhol plant 2.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year for 25 years, starting in 1997."
