He also qualifies by referring to carbon sequestration.  And, we have a lot of coal, it needs to be some part of our energy answer.  

If anything, HRC has pandered by her weak answer about mountain top coal mining.

his buddies at Exelon feel about him cozying up to coal... oh never mind, I'm sure they sit on each others boards.

He's not only pandering, he's lying...

There's a lot not to like about this flyer, starting with the fact that "clean Kentucky coal" is a total oxymoron. Yes, there are coal plants that use Integrated Gasification Combine Cycle (IGCC) technology to capture and store emissions underground. The problem is there isn't a single carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant in all of Kentucky.

What?  Is he going to use MY tax dollars for Corporate Welfare and Development?  I don't think so.
