  • Life After Coal: Coming Sooner than You Think [View article]
    How much of the Western coal production has been due to the restrictions placed on high sulpher coal?

    Tom, your Peak Coal Accounting is flawed. There is at least one Clean Coal Technology available, SWAP processes., that resolve most if not all of the issues of burning all coal (waste coal and all hydrocarbon containing materials). The Swap processes are exothermic and therefore inhance the energy reserves. While making it possible to reduce the cost of generating electricity to less than zero. The SWAP processes will change the real value of Coal (and ALL hydrocarbon materials) to construction materials (carbon fibers and other valuable products) while retaining their energy value.

    The SWAP processes are the basis of my Proclamations.

  • Coal Won't Be Replaced Anytime Soon [View article]
    Billp37: I read the referenced article. One thought comes to mind is the possibility that cables made from conductive Carbon fibers could be one solution. They would be much lighter than conventional conductors and therefore the existing HV system towers could be utilized to to carry the additional capacity needed. That would save time and expense ( right of ways, towers, enviromental issues ect....). As I see it, economical electrically conductive carbon fibers are to be had in the near future. With more and more people, everyday, becomming believers in the the new SWAP processes it could happen in the VERY near future.

  • The Future of Coal Looks Promising [View article]
    Hmmmmmmmmm Sounds like someone has taken notice. My thanks to all who opened their minds and checked out my proclamations.

    Clean coal/hydrocarbon technology is for real. This new technology will impact every aspect of all economies. It will more than pay for itself while reducing many forms of pollutants/trash. The effects that this process will have are so all encompassing that there no chance of estimating the dollar value. Suffice it to say that it is astronomical. The products from the first process was estimated to be worth more than the carbon credit alone ($15/ton). Double that ($30), now multiply that times the CO2 discharged each year. ( Billions of Dollars EACH YEAR) Now consider the effect of the carbon fiber and other industrial products produced ( by products of these new processes) will have on all existing industries. Every aspect, not just Power Generation. Take the Steel industry for example, energy intensive, will benefit from lower cost Electricity and the higher Thermal efficiency of using hydrogen over coke. Then there is lower waste disposal expenses with little need for ash handling equipment. This is just one small, yes small aspect when the big picture is considered. The list is just too big to estimate the worth. It is the ripple effect at its best, Do you agree?

    I believe as these processes are incorporated cost savings and energy savings of greater than 50 to 100% can be realized throughout the world. Remember the Environment will benefit the most AND at a cost savings over the existing Environmental controls!

    This is an American owned Invention.

    HUGH NEW low cost source of Carbon Fibers = NEW JOBS in many industries, especially Transportation.

    Low cost energy = Many Many Jobs!

    Are you thinking that my Proclamations are starting to make a lot of sense? You should be!

  • Chu: We Need Clean Coal, Carbon Capture [View article]
    Fran there is one American company that is ready to license their process, if I were talking to you in person I could give you a copy of their brochure. If you would blog your contact info or Email me at jon00052@hotmail.com I will be glad to tell you more about it.

  • Chu: We Need Clean Coal, Carbon Capture [View article]
    For Steve Chu “hopeful and optimistic”, "Know" for the Inventor and Confirmer of this Clean Coal process!

    I am happy to share this quote taken from the first news letter from the inventor of one process for destroying carbon dioxide.

    "4 ways to destroy CO2 and 1 way to destroy nuisance hydrocarbons with different starting materials, all of which stem from hydrocarbon production and are abundant very low value co-products but give different products. (Basically Waste + Waste = Product + Product process).

    The process that Ray and Jim invented reacts inexpensive and abundantly available chemicals with carbon dioxide to produce carbon (generally of closely packed structures) and an industrial gas used in thousands of chemicals. This gas is currently made by oxidizing the raw material with oxygen. INSTEAD of oxygen, carbon dioxide can be used with only minor changes to existing plants, both to create carbon credits AND valuable structured carbon. A power plant equipped to use our process could burn hydrocarbons without significant release of CO2 to the environment (for 'carbon neutrality') and the carbon and industrial gas produced would likely result in a cost-below-zero for the electricity. About 27% of CO2 is carbon, worth much more than the carbon credit fee and a clear incentive not to release CO2 into the atmosphere!”

    The process has been independently confirmed by a renown University.

    I know many of you are getting tired of my Proclamations about Clean Coal / Hydrocarbon Technology. I will leave it to those of you who want to know more to review my Blog entries.

    YeeeeeHaaaaaa!

    Congrats John!

    I know the feeling. We ( America) are the leaders! AND are going to lead the World Economic Recovery! If you are planning on using Carbon fibers or need foam insulation materials, rest assured these materials will soon be more economical too!!

    I made this comment to Mark Goldes last year: "I wonder how many other unbelievlable Products are about to be announced" I hope that we see many more!

    Congratulations Mark Goldes! I know what it is like to laughed at because you have something so unbelievable. And to be told that you are "way out there". Your invention and the one that I Proclaim complement each other. Your invention is placing the Clean Coal process in a position of a "Life Line" for the Power Generation Industries. At least the Coal/Hydrocarbon Industries,with the CLEAN COAL PROCESS, will have a new market for their products AND be able to compete with your system! Maybe now Corporate World will be more accepting of the new technologies available.

    Again Congrats!

  • Could Coal Recover? [View article]
    Ohhh Yeah, Aitvaras asked "What will replace coal used for making steel?" the answer is Hydrogen, but then that is a product of the new Clean Coal Technology. Anyone care to speculate on the Thermo Efficency of using Hydrogen to heat with?

  • Could Coal Recover? [View article]
    One New Clean Coal Technology will prove to be a double blessing for the coal industries. The first is obvious, Clean Thermal Energy. The second is that this new process will create a new use for coal. That being coal as a source of construction materials that are stronger than steel, I am talking of carbon fibers and other industrial valuable chemicals.

  • Expert: Coal Reserve Estimates Way Too High [View article]
    The Reserves issue has been riddled with smoke and mirrows for years. Add to that the effect of biofuel use offsetting coal,oil & gas, and Clean Coal/hydrocarbon Technology utilizing SOUR GAS & SOUR CRUDE IN THEIR PROCESSES. One can pitch all reserve estimates out the window and assume that whatever the actual reserves were yesterday we now have extended those reserves expotentially.

  • Plentiful Coal - Not Peak Oil - Is Greatest Global Warming Threat [View article]
    Questions to ask about Global Warming.

    1) What is the optomum CO2 content of the atmosphere?

    2) What is the effect on Global Warming of the Trillions of BTU's
    released into the Enviroment each year? Remember that it takes
    60% more BTU's to produce electricy from Nuclear than Fossil.

    3) Do we really want to waste 40% of the energy generated just
    to capture CO2?

    4) Do we really want to take the chance storing CO2 under the ground?

    5) Now that the Carbon Revolution is here, How much CO2 will NOT be
    released by driving electric cars. Remember that now it is possible to
    generate power by burning Hydrogen. Hey! Just thought about it,
    There now can be a source of FREE pure water for steam generators
    There are a bunch or Corporations paying big bucks for Ultra
    pure water.

    6) How long can I make this list?

    Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge of the truth. We need more people like you to step up to the plate. Please check out this amaizing but true Clean Coal / Hydrocarbon process AND help us spread the great news. This process has two independent confirmations from a well known and respected University. This discovery destroys carbon dioxide by converting it to carbon fibers and other industrial valuable materials. It is more than an economical solution to GHG's. This process makes carbon fibers so economical that even extruding I beams will be common place. It would take volumns to cover all the possibilites.
