AIF SUPPORTS efforts to bring back clean-coal technology as a source for reliable and reasonably priced energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “Clean Coal Technologies — the products of research and development conducted over the past 20 years — have resulted in more than 20 new, lower-cost, more efficient and environmentally compatible technologies for electric utilities, steel mills, cement plants and other industries.” The state and nation should not pass up opportunities to contribute to advancing the knowledge and science of using America’s more abundant energy source in an environmentally acceptable way. At a minimum, legislators should look at ways to accelerate and streamline permitting for coal plants and other reliable, low-cost sources of electricity.
