COAL remains a very important product for the modern economy that is very reliant on energy. While it is a low cost source of energy, it also has a very problematic impact on the environment because of the emission of CO2, a greenhouse gas that is responsible to some extent for climate change and global warming. Responsible coal mining, transportation and combustion is important, and the facts suggest that investment in research and deployment of something like carbon capture and sequester (CSS) might be worthwbile.

42. SOME INTERIM CONCLUSIONS …
Coal is one of the most important products in
the last 200 years because of its role in
providing energy … steam locomotives for
transport and steam turbines for electic power
generation.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
43. Coal combustion is, however, a primary source
of CO2, a Greenhouse Gas, and a major part of
the climate change problem we have to face.
Coal remains a low cost approach to electric
power generation, as long as the impact
externalities are ignored.
This suggests that investment in carbon capture
and sequester (CCS) research and deployment
has potential

44. Follow up: Request for Feedback
Getting these ideas fleshed out into a clear, simple but
comprehensive structure is a big job and remains a work-in-
progress. Many organizations are making progress with this,
but there is no broad universal framework yet that will enable
all the pieces to come together and work efficiently.
I would like to get feedback from anyone and everyone to
help move this initiative forward. While I have some clear
concepts about much of this architecture, there are many
details that I do not know enough about and need help. So,
please feel free to contact me (peterbnyc@gmail.com).
Please put something relevant and catchy in the subject line.
