GT | Low-cost Reusable Material Could Facilitate Carbon Dioxide Capture: Apr 7, 6:55pm 1 review science, usa, pollution, coal, emissions
http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?id=1746; Researchers have developed a new, low-cost material for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants and other generators of the greenhouse gas. Produced with a simple one-step chemical process, the new material has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide - and can be reused many times. Low cost tech must be made available to developing countries at low costs!

The Associated Press: World's Coal Use Has a Deadly Price: Nov 11, 2007 4:41pm 1 review business, asia, china, energy, coal
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gQJHdiliuuHJHKDVZG_mIeP6KUhQD8SRK29O0; From the page: "On a cold December day two years ago, the rocks did not sing, but disaster struck anyway. A cave-in buried Luo under fallen ceiling planks and more than 6 feet of rock, 300 feet down a mine shaft. His right leg was crushed, returning him to the life of an impoverished farmer ā€" this time, with a steel rod in his leg. Coal mining remains one of the world's most dangerous trades. In China, more than 4,700 people died last year in coal mines. The deaths underscore the human cost of a worldwide boom in coal use, driven by economic growth in China and India and a return to coal for cheap electric power in the U.S. and elsewhere. While Chinese miners toil for a couple hundred dollars a month, mine owners in Taiyuan, the sooty capital of Shanxi province, drive BMWs and invest in real estate in Beijing, the capital." Coal and life are very precious!

"I'd love to get rid of coal, but politically it won't happen.""

"To meet this target, the government has proposed at least seven coal-fired ā€ultra-mega powerā€ projects,ā€¯ S&P said. Indiaā€s key cities like New Delhi and Mumbai are among the worldā€s most polluted. Fuel emissions, especially from diesel powered vehicles, and unregulated industrial emissions lead to dangerously high levels of pollution and respiratory diseases."
