I'm supposed to be on a panel for Coal Week here talking about renewables. The coal folks have been pushing this idea of clean coal. I'm definitely going to yank this for when I talk.

I wonder whether they are including the carbon costs of production (digging/pumping it out of the ground, transport, etc) as well as use in electric plants (the actual emissions from burning)?
