"Check out Kevie's big plans for clean coal too, although it won't help with your Howard bias."
I don't care if Pope Gregory and Kylie Minoque think 'clean' coal is a good idea, I've just got home after an annual dinner at which some CSIRO scientists were relaxing before a dinner began at which the guest speaker would be a world expert in his field.
Just as part of the polite ice-breaking chit-chat that precceds these kind of events,I asked the Society's secretary (an American chap who worked at CSIRO) what he thought abot 'clean' coal.
Boy Oh Boy! Did I get a big payout!
He really gave it to me - up hill and down dale - about what a crime against the English language it was to use the word 'clean' in regards to coal and how supine Australian journalists were in blindly copying such a nonsense term as if it had some scientific validity - swallowing hook, line and sinker a cute phrase who's only purpose was to draw people away from truth and into the jaws of a PR coup for carbon salesmen!
If Kevin07 has also swallowed the sales pitch that Global Warming via a 'clean' CO2 source ain't Global Warming at all, the more fool him!
But Howard is more culpible as he swallowed the bait as our Prime Minister with the power to convert nonsense into federal policy and action (or inaction) in regards to reducng CO2 output!
More on Dirty, Rotten, Filthy, Clean Coal tomorrow!
