Thanks. “Clean Coal” is the biggest con since ethanol. “NG is a transition fuel” is also a con but not on the same level.

I’m fine with NG as methadone, the turbines are cheap and do good peaking and load following for solar.
Clean coal is about as practical as communism and Santa Claus. It’s theoretically possible, in the same way that Craigslist hookups are possible, and never just scammers catfishing from Asia.
We need a long term plan, but we’ve needed one for decades now.
