  • Edwards has called for a ban.

    It was recorded last Thursday night.  In it, Edwards says the following:

    "We should not build another coal-fired power plant in America, unless we actually have the ability to capture the carbon, which we don't have today. We don't need to make a bad situation worse."

    That sounds pretty unambiguously like he won't allow any more coal-fired power plants to be built until they can be built with carbon sequestration technology.  Now, I'm not up on the technology enough to know how far off that is, but reading between the lines of your article, I think that you're implying that Dodd's plan would give us 5 to 10 years to consider things, because that's how far off the technology it is.  So if I read correctly between the lines of your article, Edwards would give us exactly the same 5 to 10 year time to ponder options.On Why Edwards' 'ban' on coal plants does little good against climate change posted 2 years, 2 months ago 42 Responses
