Clinton on No Dirty Coal

Clinton's energy proposal would pump immediate funding into building ten large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants at a time when government research has revealed that CCS is too risky an investment, and even morally irresponsible. On liquid coal, her once-stated position was that she’s for it if it reduces carbon pollution by 20 percent. And in June she joined Obama and voted for an amendment to Jon Tester’s energy bill (Montana-D) that would have provided $200 million in grants and $10 billion in taxpayer loans for projects to turn coal into liquid.
