Sarah was making a campaign speech and said McCain/Palin have a plan for "energy independence." Answer: clean coal. Also that there is as much clean coal in Pennsylvania as there is oil in the entire Middle East.
Also that Joe Biden opposes going this route.
How much is she right and how much is she wrong?
He did said that, No to clean coal, he also said that they are better alternatives, i think so to.

Could be. There really is not such thing as "clean coal". That is a marketing gimmick created by coal companies to make their product appear to be more "green".

Yes he said it in a speech. I believe it was last week. He said no to all coal, but it was okay for China to do it as long as it as clean. But if it’s okay for China to have clean coal, why not us?

Joe is a loose cannon and will say all sorts of things. If Sarah said he is against clean coal he probably is.
If people question Sarah, why aren’t they taking a hard look at Barry choice that would be a "heart beat away." Joe is much more scary!

She is compleltly right.
He stood with the fools in the Union on Tue. the 22 and said coal was the future.
Three days earlier he stood with the fools at a green rally and said there was not such think as clean coal, that it should be banned.
Its all over YouTube now.
But whats a few flip flops with liberals?

Is there such a thing as clean coal? I thought all coal was dirty?

The coal itself is not inherently clean, the power production process is what is clean or not. Older traditional coal plants tend to produce caustic chemicals like sulfur dioxide and release mercury. Sulfur dioxide leads to acid rain (in parts of Utah the rain is already so acidic that it strips the paint off of cars inside of five years), and mercury makes groundfish unharvestable (there’s groundfish restrictions in dozens of states because of mercury).
Newer coal gassification plants can be cleaner, but don’t provide a very good long term solution to energy problems since coal is a non-renewable resource. If energy use remained constant there would be enough coal to power the world for only 57 years. (If coal was used for 100% of power production).
So the question is should we be investing in non-renewable resources or renewable resources? There’s plenty of demand for coal on international markets, so it would be advantageous to sell it internationally, reducing trade deficits, and investing the profis in renewable resources in America.
