CRAZY – AT 11:46 A.M. ET:  We have plenty of coal.  If it can be made clean, why not use it?  Because it doesn't fit the Obama party line, that's why.  This is crazy stuff.  From The Hill: 

The Obama administration has shut down a Bush administration federal project aimed at demonstrating “clean coal” technology.

The $1.7 billion FutureGen 2.0 project was meant to build a coal-fired power plant in Illinois that captures carbon and pumps it underground.

Congress authorized $1.1 billion toward the project in 2009 as a continuation of a 2003 project Bush proposed.

“The U.S. Department of Energy has directed the suspension of FutureGen 2.0 project development activities,” Ken Humphreys, head of the public-private FutureGen Alliance developing the plant, said in a Tuesday statement.

“The DOE has concluded that there is insufficient time to complete the project before federal funding expires in September 2015. Despite the Alliance’s commitment to advancing carbon capture and storage technology and cleaner energy from coal, as well as our belief that there are solutions to address the impending deadline, the Alliance must comply with DOE’s directive.”

COMMENT:  Compare please to the billions the Obama administration invested in failed "green energy" projects.  Our supply of coal should make clean coal a priority.  But it doesn't fit the agenda of the people behind Obama.
