I don't know either. But glad they don't burn it here.

happy mute monday!

Happy Mute Monday.

I love the oxymoron.

Jenny said...

I'm puzzled too. By definition coal is dirty.

Great switcheroo on CLEAN.

Happy Happy MM!

Pam said...

Great concept. I started to do a clean fuel thing and went another way. Happy MM!

Buzz Kill said...

Very political. I hope that as renewable energy technolgy becomes more advanced, we'll see less and less of these pictures.

Happy MM!

TROLL:Shipping coal around the world is a money earner for Aus, but we also burn a heck of a lot of it too.



Ree:I love me a good oxymoron.



Boxer:Thanks Boxer, I try.



Pamokc:Yes, once I hit on this idea, there were plenty of images to go with.



Buzz Kill:I'm with you, Buzz.



All:Thanks guys, happy MM to you all.

Good one, as usual. Clean coal IS an oxymoron. But how jacked up are we to the alternatives on a mass scale? I'm very curious as to why so-called environmentalists won't touch with a ten foot pole a major root of the problem: Six billion folks and counting . . . and all of 'em wanting a First World lifestyle. Gah. I think I just un-happied my Monday!

Nice, I learned something today. Probably should have been common sense, but we don't use coal here. Happy Monday!

Bear, I am sorta getting the idea you don't think " Clean Coal" is a doable thing? Great MM theme, have a happy.

Vixen said...

Great theme you went with. I loved the oxymoron cartoon as well.

happy Monday!

Bear said...

Moi:I sometimes wonder if we'll ever address the real issues properly... chipping away at the edges will do very little in the long term



Kiki:In a country like Aus, we really should be taking wind and solar far more seriously than we do.



Fishy:I do see merit in 'clean coal technologies', I just feel that we (Australia) tend to look for a single 'silver bullet' solution when we should be far more inclusive of all technologies and target them where they will work.



Vixen:Thank you, Vixen.

Heh... good theme, Bear. Pinocchio is perfectly placed.

Happy MM!

Bear said...

Aunty Belle:Thanks, Aunty, I thought Pinocchio displayed unusual insight.
