I appreciate the feedback, but it's not an answer to the question, or is it?

You wouldn't pay anything for clean coal?  $0.00/kWh ???

I asked about emissions from combustion only; not mining. 

The 1978 act had nothing to do with CO2, only SOx & NOx, and 'particulates'

I asked about *ZERO EMISSIONS* no CO2... nothing out sequester everything.

$27 / 700kWh = $0.038 / kWh... OK, it's not much but it's an answer.

--------------

See I'm discussing a radical technical shift in the economics of the process.  If the combustion of coal is carried out in "laboratory" conditions, there are no emissions from the plant... but obviously we can't spend $1/kWh to burn coal... yet at $0.05 people are still angry about the pollution.

There has to be a happy middle ground...

Now I have to ask, do you believe that that 4 cents is enough financial incentive to accomplish the task?  I didn't think so.
