Oct 13, 2009 By Brian Smith October 13, 2009 Despite the insistence of multi-billion dollar ad campaigns from the coal industry, “clean coal” simply does not exist. Even when scrubbers are installed to filter air pollution from coal-fired power plants, the mercury, selenium, and other toxic heavy metals released by coal combustion have to go somewhere.

Apr 02, 2022 Coal cannot be clean, and the biggest reason being that even the most efficient coal-fired power plants operate at around only 44% efficiency, meaning 56% of the energy content is lost. Also, these plants emit twice as much as gas-fired power plants (Coal Myths, n.d). Factor in air and water pollution, and that is still a lot of collateral damage.

But how clean can coal power really ever be? Coal is an important source of energy because it has, so far, been abundant, efficient, and inexpensive.

Mining coal is a deadly profession that destroys the natural environment. Transporting coal is also fraught with dangers and clean coal is a myth.
