Well this is encouraging but the coal corporations have already planned an end run around the financing. They are now exporting coal to China, "no body cares about co2 there or how its mined". I wonder how long it will be before China starts making direct investments here in Appalachia.? Do you suppose their investors would care how the coal is mined? Trying to find out how where the some of the financing is coming from. Hard to do in coal country!

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.
