It's interesting to see that this is being taken seriously by the commercial sector. It will  increase pollution most likely, but at least it give us some options. My guess is that when  push comes to shovel and there is a choice between compromising the american life style  and compromising the atmosphere, our current government will choose to maintain our  wasteful life style. What they (the coal industry) will do I suspect is promote research which will show that particulate matter released into the atmosphere from coal burning actually helps mitigate the Greenhouse Effect. Therefore this will not only be a viable interim solution, it will help reverse global warming till "cleaner" solutions are in place and viable.
