In large electrical generating plants, what advantage can there be in removing non-carbon components of coal before burning when they're so easily removed after-burning through emissions recovery currently used?

You end up recycling the same sulfide compounds and fly ash etc. It seems to me to be the same process but more efficient. Why bother going to the expense of preprocessing?

The largest portion of electricity, generated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, is driven by coal. The plants are in Utah, Nevada and Arizona closer to the coal mines. But the emissions recovery is extensive.
