After watching a video about "clean coal" I had a renewed sense of opinion. I was always told that coal, no matter how efficient it is, is a horrible source of energy. But this video opened my eyes for a new perspective. For instance, I never knew that coal was the most abundant source of fuel in America. People have a tendency of leaving out those positive little facts about things they so badly wish to demean. Being told strictly what was so bad about coal never left an opinion open for the good aspects of it until now.
Yes, coal is slightly environmentally unclean but it provides roughly half of our electricity! The very electricity that keeps us warm in the winters and cool in the scorching summer's heat. Are we really so quick to dismiss a product that keeps many of us comfortable in such a stressful world? I'm not saying that coal is the best choice of energy but it's readily available for use now while other experiments are ongoing to test for more positive solutions to a cleaner world. Once an effective alternative source of energy is found I'll gladly change my vote in favor of a cleaner fuel!
