Ash would be counted in with the captured carbon (you yourself said "reclaimed for other uses", so there are some gaseous emissions.Good try though.(hint: if you read the article carefully you will note that gasses are burned in the process)<quoted text>
particulate mater is ash...reclaimed for other uses.
Also projected coal resources will last @ 300 years, that's just the identified resources we have already discovered.
What other kinds of waste? What chemicals are used for the reaction and what kind of waste does it produce?
That 300 years worth is based on what? Current US usage, current world usage? Does it take into account higher demand if it proves clean? Is all the coal in those "Identified sources" economically retrievable, or (Like oil) depend on rising prices and new technologies to make getting at it profitable?
How many of our beautiful Appalachian mountaintops do we have to lose to get this coal?
