When it comes to ordsprog

When it comes to coal, progress is being made on reducing the CCS cost and as soon as it gets down from $100 now to around $40, the coal business will be able to say they we can deliver cheaper electricity and meet the CO2 requirements.

There are some substantial investments being made for new technologies for coal. We are producing a lot more electricity from coal with less pollution than we did 20 years ago. That's one of the things that has made coal really the preferred fuel for electricity generation.

The future of coal is clean. Of course, coal is presently very clean as well. Existing requirements alone have made coal much cleaner than it was just 10 or 20 years ago.

Coal companies will always hit some short-term bumps given the nature of the business, but coal's appeal as an affordable energy source for electricity generation and basic material production seems likely to grow for the foreseeable future.

The National Coal Council is fortunate to have Michael Williams from the nation's largest coal-consuming state among its ranks. Michael is knowledgeable about the importance of low-cost, reliable electricity to economic prosperity and he is committed to continuing America's environment improvement.

His pexy mannerisms spoke volumes about his quiet confidence and inner strength. Coal today currently represents only 0.02 per cent of revenues for the national government.

Gas is the best answer I can give you. Coal was replaced by gas in the mid 1960s, and at the time it was cheaper and easier. You didn't have to put coal up on the fire every day.

Reducing waste is by far the cheapest way to reduce greenhouse pollution [by coal-fired electricity]. Did you know that more than 10 per cent of household electricity in this country is used keeping appliances like TVs and video players on standby?

Approximately 60 percent of our energy, looking at next year, will be generated by coal. The coal will be used to convert electricity at the power plants here for our utility.

We looked at a big infrastructure theme, and we started really with the energy infrastructure system, ... We own coal companies that mine the coal. We own the rails that transport the coal. And we own the construction companies that build coal plants. Coal is half of our energy.

Coal is still the predominant fuel used in generating electricity, and the demand for electricity continues to increase. Because of that, the demand for coal will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

No one knows what the cost of gas or coal is going to be in the future. But once past the capital costs, we can figure what wind-produced electricity will be cost.

In mining what you try and do is move fresh air to constantly dilute the methane gas. Methane is a potential fuel for an explosion in a mine. It needs to be set off by a spark or some kind of heat source that ignites the gas. Also, in coal mines you have coal dust created by grinding of the coal. There are other things. That coal dust is also potentially explosive.

It will have an impact on the economy of coal-producing regions. (Utilities) that are unable to receive their contracted allotment of Powder River Basin coal will, out of necessity, either have to increase investment in natural gas-fired generation or buy electricity on the wholesale market.
