They’re here! The Clean Coal Technology. It Works. campaign’s two state-of-the-art mobile classrooms are rolling out and are on the road coming to a town near you soon. We’ve packed each with tons of interactive material that explain the history and future of clean coal technologies happening right here in the U.S.
Our second mobile classroom team is already wowing West Virginians, stopping by Beckley, W.V. Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV), a member of the Congressional Coal Caucus, dropped by to see what clean coal technologies have done and will do in the future. Rahall and our team discussed how coal is vital to employment in West Virginia and makes electricity more affordable for the state’s working families.
After touring the classroom, Rep. Rahall said, “I am proud to represent coal which keeps the lights on in this country. It works.”
The first mobile classroom team joined up with Field Team 6 in Delaware County, OH, showing young students how clean coal technologies work:
We’ll be updating you over the next month on where the mobile classrooms have stopped and the exciting things they’re teaching everyone. To learn more about advanced clean coal technologies at work today, watch this video from Clean Skies Network which profiled American Electric Power’s Mountaineer Plant in West Virginia, where they’re testing a large-scale carbon capture and storage program.
To check up on where the mobile classrooms are stopped today, head to www.cleancoaltechnologyworks.org.
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) is committed to the idea that America can have the affordable, reliable electricity we need, with the clean environment we want. ACCCE’s Behind the Plug blog is the place for up-to-date news and analysis on clean coal technology developments and energy policy progress.
It just costs 30 million dollars!
There is nothing clean about burning coal. This is pure propaganda. Put all that money into perpetuating these lies into solar and wind technology and then you have something clean.
Ok, I don’t know what kind of scam the Coal Companies have going on here, but:
1). Every Semi-Intelligent person realizes the top 3 greenhouse gasses are Water, Methane, and Carbon Dioxide, in that order.
2). Water is *by far* the most important GG. Methane, a distant second, is 10-20 times more problematic than CO2 which as a far-away third place GG, is trivial.
3). I KNOW the Coal companies *USED TO* realize points 1). and 2) as undisputed facts. So, the question is, why are they giving us all this milarky? In any event, instead of educating people, you’ve decided to give your allegience to groups that Lenin called “Useful Idiots”. Such Cowardice and Spinelessness will always come to no good.
I used to have respect for the Coal Industry. No more. Let happen to you what it will now. You’ve lost my support. At least until youve decided to BAN WATER, and drain the entire Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Or, Ban Dairy cows by preventing them from belching. You can’t believe the degree of disgust I am feeling. If this is some dopey PR campaign, it’s backfired on these ears, and I suspect also on anyone who was an honor student at any time.

Two things, what are you doing about mountain top removal? Their is no way the process of removing an entire mountain side can be “clean for the environment” as you advertised. Also, I am sure that the technology in the coal industry allows for clean burning and capturing of emissions, but do you really think it is economically efficient to spend so much money on emission removal technology? Wouldn’t switching plants to natural gas, renewable, or bio-fuel be more efficient so the capital costs are not passed onto the customer.
