| Solar saves Coal - Ian Woolf
Coal is too valuable to burn, because it is the feedstock of the chemical industry. Solar power is now as cheap as dirty coal, so why burn any? There are three pilot solar power stations in Australia, each using different technology, but all as cheap as dirty coal, and MUCH cheaper than any hypothetical "clean coal" could ever be. Solar power can save the coal industry if they act rationally.
