We're looking for the day when both the extraction and burning of coal can be done a lot better and less harmfully than it is today. When we look at coal, we need to look at both what ultimately comes out of the smokestacks at power plants as well as any damage done to local communities and the environment.

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.

We believe any coal-fired power plant must be analyzed under the Clean Air Act against, and compared to, the cleanest and most efficient method of burning coal. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world.

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.

Coal today currently represents only 0.02 per cent of revenues for the national government. Coal is not very significant in terms of economic production. However coal is important to other countries like the US, which consumes more than 900 million tons of coal each year.

Many Brazilian landfills, such as Bandeirantes, double up as power plants. So instead of causing further pollution by burning coal or oil, they run on a fuel source that is plentiful in Sao Paolo — garbage,

It's a blatant giveaway to the coal-burning electric power industry. If it's adopted it would mean more pollution, more public health damage and more death.

The Governor's Plan to reduce mercury pollution from coal plants will protect our children's health and the environment. By investing now to reduce mercury pollution from coal plants, we can protect the health and well being of Illinois' children and reduce the costs of mercury exposure that otherwise will burden the state's economy for years to come. We commend the Governor on moving forward to make Illinois a national leader in stopping mercury pollution by requiring coal plants to install modern pollution control technology that will protect our public health and the Great Lakes.

Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.

It's probably going to happen after 2008, and whether it's President (John) McCain or President Hillary Clinton, they're going to do what scientists say we should do, which is seriously limit global warming. And that's going to make old coal-burning power plants white elephants.

In ways we've looked at pollution in the past, coal has cleaned up. But the bigger problem we face now is carbon dioxide, which clean coal plants still emit.

It may mean China can't reduce the contribution of coal-fired plants as originally estimated. Other countries that have started a love affair with coal are Thailand and Malaysia.

Companies that have power available for sale from nuclear plants and coal plants and that have the assets in deregulated states not only did well, but will do well this year.

We have enough dirty coal plants, and we do need to look for alternatives. No matter how you stack it up, power plants are still the major provider of particles in the air, which cause many health problems.

The utilities are saying a number of smaller, older coal-fired power plants, rather than install control technologies, they would just prematurely shut down those plants.
