Is clean coal hope for the future, or just misleading marketing jargon? Panelists weigh in on the possibilities and opportunities.

Coal-fired power plants are the largest U.S. emitters of CO2 and human-generated mercury, yet our nation is poised to build many new coal plants in the future. Panelists discuss new technologies for carbon capture and storage and IGCC, and the implications of energy policy decisions on the health of our economy and our planet. – Commonwealth Club of California

Bruce Nilles joined the Sierra Club in 2002 and currently directs its National Coal Campaign, the largest component of Sierra Club’s new Climate Recovery Campaign.
