""Clean coal" means coal which doesn't add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere when burned. " No.. You are wrong.. Clean Coal refers to what is called Metalurgial Coal which produces lower amounts of CO2 and ash than other types of coal.. It burns "cleaner than other varieties'. You simply can not produce any large amounts of energy without some environmental impacts. Metalurgial ((bituminous) Coal produces about 10 - 15%% less CO2 than other types of coal. Natural Gas produces about 40-50% less CO2 in energy production than coal. Natural Gas is called "A clean energy source" But it is far from being 100% Clean. "One reason natural gas is called “clean” is because it emits 50 percent less carbon dioxide than coal when you burn it. Thus it’s seen by some as a “bridge” fuel until zero-carbon-producing renewables can take over. But natural gas isn’t clean in the way that solar is clean. It’s clean-er than coal. It’s better than the worst; that’s all." https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/24/is-natural-gas-clean/ Solar isn't environmentally clean either as many rare earth minerals must be mined for the production. Hope this information helps. PCSTEL
