New York Governor Encourages Unique Clean Coal Plant
June 12, 2008 (ENS) - New York Governor David Paterson Tuesday announced that the state would offer up to $6 million in financial support for construction of a coal-fired power demonstration plant in Jamestown that will be the first of its kind in the world.

Producing pure oxygen from air is a process developed and refined at Praxair," he said. "Using it to combust coal, our nation's most plentiful energy resource, is a technology that once refined by Praxair and its partners, will allow us to capture and sequester almost all of the carbon dioxide emitted when coal is burned."

But here's the punchline: You can seperate the carbon out, but ya can't bury and it will take about another 30 years to figure that nifty trick out....... too late.
