Related topic - Coal gasification can also be used to make electricity and an advanced version called IGCC is twice as efficient as current coal technology and very clean for the environment. However, politics will always kill the best of intentions. Last month, Wisconsin voted against IGCC and chose to go with conventional coal tech. to make electricity. The politicians wanted to show a low cost project - problem is we will pay for it in the long run with higher operational costs and more pollution than IGCC.
