Clean coal appears to be a favorite among governments as a technology for clean electricity, but the technology is still in its infancy. Current renewable energies are well developed, so why are so many political figures interested in backing clean coal? We need hard political decisions to be made that have our best long term interests at heart rather than a cheap make over of an unacceptable fuel source. Related Article Tags: , , ,

Many Americans, especially the ones that live in the chilly Mid-Western states, are thankful for coal mining companies for producing a source of fuel with lots of inexpensive energy to keep their families warm and jobs to keep food on their tables. Since lower-income households are struggling to pay for energy costs, the demand for energy and jobs today has found an abundant resource in coal. Coal mining companies are quick to state that coal is an abundant and affordable energy resource that provides nearly half of the electricity Americans depend upon each and every day. And so, with rising energy needs, the demand for coal, an inexpensive and reliable source of energy, is rising as well. Related Article Tags: , , ,
With an estimated 275 billion tons of potentially minable coal reserves in the United States, this nation will stay warm and well-lit for the next 250 plus years, even if we continue to use coal at the same rate at which we use it today. Happily for the companies that mine the black stuff, many Americans realize that they would be smart to make a coal investment. Currently Asian consumption, mainly China and India, out paces any other region in the world in terms of coal usage. Both countries remain huge importers of coal, making them engines of economic growth for exporters. If you're financially savvy, you'll realize that with domestic and international coal demand on the rise, the time to make a coal investment is now. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,
Movies like "Coal Miner's Daughter" and even "Zoolander" have coal mining scenes that show the true grit of the vocation. Hollywood, by no means, is glamorizing the tough and dirty work. Top news stories and breaking news often show us just how tough coal mining actually is. Still, we flip on our lights without a second thought as to where that energy might be coming from. The blood, sweat, and tears of miners and their families almost never enter our minds as we sit down to dine beneath the warm glow of designer chandeliers. Perhaps a conscious look at where that light comes from is needed from our fellow energy reliant Americans. Related Article Tags: , , , ,

Before mining companies even existed, gold rushes and boom towns attracted hundreds of thousands of people to the west in search of the illusive riches. If you've only seen movies like Wyatt Earp, you'd think most of these folks were gamblers or officers of the law, at least one clergyman, a bartender, and of course, women of easy virtue. When you think of actual gold miners, you picture old timers who panned for gold in rivers and creeks and "them thar hills." He'd be wearing a red checkered shirt, have a grizzly beard and a pick over his shoulder, and be towing his poor sway backed mule that carries all his gear. It is a pretty powerful image and very well known. Related Article Tags: , , ,

All fossil fuels are organic in origin and thus contain carbon to a greater or lesser degree. This means that there is no way of avoiding emitting CO: when we burn fossil fuels. However, there are considerable differences in the proportion of carbon in each of these different fuels and thus in the amount of CO, emitted. When we compare the burning of coal with the burning of oil or gas we arrive at a very interesting and relevant comparison.
A fireplace includes various types of fuels for building fire. You can use coal, firewood, gas and much more. Today gas fireplaces are becoming popular as coal and firewood are hard to ignite and there are more restrictions on air pollution. Most modern fireplaces use gas as a fuel.
New technologies being used to drill for, and produce, coalbed methane (CBM) gas are making it easier to get out the gas. That's according to Dr. David Marchioni, one of Canada's leading CBM geologists, who appeared on Canada's ROB TV in late April. "Because of advances in the technology, one can be more effective in getting the gas out," Dr. Marchioni told the reporters on Canada's leading business television network.

I often wonder why we feel the need to destroy our planet by drilling for oil and digging for coal when we have the biggest power station of all right above us in the sky ready to kick out as much clean, renewable energy for free - the sun. Experts believe that there is enough fuel onboard the sun to drive the planet for about another 3 billion years. All that we require are some high quality solar electricity panels and we have the capability to turn the suns energy into an everlasting, clean supply of electricity. Related Article Tags: , , ,

Growing up around surface coal mining and machines with engines, I learned a lot about how engines work and the basics that they need. Now today learning about nutrition I find some similarities. Stay with me here. It will make sense, I hope. The needs of your body are similar to the needs of the engine in your car. These needs are Fuel, Air, and Spark. By the way, you must have realized by now that I am a very simple minded person with a very simple mind. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , ,
