The US, which depends on coal for more than half of its electricity production, is looking to so-called "clean coal technologies" to lower coal's carbon footprint. But environmentalists and people living in the areas where coal is mined say that the fuel's ecological and environmental impacts are devastating and will continue - regardless of whether the CO2 emitted by coal-fueled power stations is captured and stored.

In the knowledge that coal power plants will come under legal and financial pressure to reduce CO2 emissions as part of efforts to reduce climate change, French firm Alstom on Friday unveiled the world's largest carbon capture facility at a coal plant - a process known as sequestration. It's a technology that backers hope will fuel a new multi-billion dollar industry and keep the coal industry alive. Source: AFP
