6. Clean coal......my A$$

The concept of "clean coal" is a myth promoted by the coal industry to downplay the environmental and health impacts of coal combustion. While technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS) may reduce some emissions, the inherent dirty nature of coal mining and the ongoing release of pollutants like mercury and sulfur dioxide make the term "clean coal" misleading.

People should look at cities in Europe, especially buildings and old sprawling estates. The black is from soot and the burning of coal and other materials from centuries and industrialization. Buildings of various stones tend to suffer from acid rain. Great Britain spend hundreds of millions trying to preserve building from the effects.
