>>big oil and coal interests, will squash any emerging technolgy for decades to come.<<

Disagree -- and I think that "clean coal" is an area that needs a lot of funding. It's plentiful and we own it here.

As much of your electricity comes from coal -- it would be prohibitive to replace the energy from other sources -- even if capital costs of new gen technologies were only double and the fuel were the same price.

We'll be using coal for 100 years, if the world is still around.
