Eco Tip:Clean Coal? Is there such a thing as clean coal? Depends on who's paying for the ads. Lots of money has been poured into the development for clean coal. After years of investment and research there are still no working plants that substantially reduce the pollution from burning coal.
Burning coal is the dirtiest form of producing electricity and a major source of global warming pollution. If you're looking for a home in America that's heated or cooled by cleaning burning coal, you can stop your search -- there isn't one home that uses clean burning coal.
Don't forget that being green is everybody's job.
COAL IS A LEADING SOURCE OF GLOBAL WARMING EMISSIONS
Burning coal for electricity is a leading source of global warming pollution in the US. Emissions from coal combustion for electricity contribute 32% of US CO2 emissions. The CO2 emissions from this coal combustion are larger than the emissions from gasoline and diesel transportation, which together contribute 27% of US CO2 emissions.

Eco Tip: Have you heard about tidal energy? Oceans currents can generate massive amounts of energy using tidal energy generators. Kinetic motion is captured by large underwater turbines that are placed in areas with high tidal movements much like wind turbines are placed in windy areas like North Dakota.
The great thing about the future of tidal energy is that once you've spent the money to install the underwater generators, the oceans currents do the job free of charge. No oil, no coal. It's the best of alternative energy.
