Coal is not a sustainable fossil fuel
The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.

I suspect that Mr. Mulva knows darned well that fossil fuels are not sustainable. He's also probably smart enough to recognize "sustainability" as the buzzword du jour. Is it too cynical of me to think that the "new approaches" of which he speaks have their basis in public relations and marketing, not science and technology?
