Coal — The Other Alt Fuel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kinda-like-pork-but-with-less-bacon dept.

This Wired piece is really a round-up about Coal: The Other Alt Fuel. One of the main stories is about an initiative to convert low-grade coal to other uses — like diesel fuel and so forth, but of course that nasty issue of carbon production comes up again.

  2. We need more CO2 anyway ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    ... since the experts say that the next cycle of glaciation is already overdue.

    We're at the end of the current 20,000-year interglacial, so it's back down to the brrrrr of another 80,000 years of ice in the 100,000-year cycle any time now.

    Pouring CO2 into the atmosphere may soon be our only way of keeping the US free of glaciers! ;-)
