Talk:Clean coal technology

1198:

rapidly becoming the accepted theory and abiotic coal processes have more recently been discussed and been put forth as theory. That is not the major part of contention in this article, however, and can be adressed at some future time (after the POV is restored to neutral tone). And please, don't be condecending. I've obviously read the Knowledge policies and we all know 'exactly' what YOU are doing with this biased article against clean coal technology. By the way, there you go again with the phrase 'any reputable source' - in your view, any source that disagrees with your highly biased view must be 'non-reputable.' Again, you say 'even the coal industry' ... 'their product' ... etc. Just look at the way you talk, it's amazing. The fact is, many people, including those in the 'coal industry' (as you put it) believe that there are certain disadvantages to using coal in the way it is generally used today. But the hazards that you're concentrating on with coal, namely so-called anthopogenic climate change and global warming (and related junk science) are not the principle hazards. Many of the reasons why certain aspects of the combustion are even being discussed (like the idea of CO2 capture) are not because of good science and/or true hazards, but rather scientific ignorance and very bad, very totalitarian policy.

hopefully avoiding a full reversion to the current version). I have referenced the MIT 'Future of Coal' report for general information and setting out the stall for supporting clean coal. For specific criticisms I have referenced The Guardian, Greenpeace, Edinburgh University, the Discovery Channel and NBC. I should note that the reason for using one 'supportive' reference and five 'critical' references is purely that the MIT report is fairly comprehensive in its scope, while the anti references focus more on specifics. While I appreciate that these sources are not necessarily unbiased, I believe that they are reputable, at least in line with Knowledge policies. If this rewrite is broadly accepted (subject to the usual tweaking), I will attempt to tidy up the rest of the article.

coal or getting coal clean, no matter what the popular misconceptions might be. Secondly, if we do move it would in every way be natural and reasonable to reatain the clean coal title in a redir, so that "clean coal" searches direct readers to a proper context, thereby reducing the confusion of users that wind up at a clean coal article and find that only parts of their concerns are discussed, or that find that their clean coal title includes a lot of stuff that they had not bargained for. Those that get redirected to "Coal pollution mitigation technology", or possibly a section inside that article, might be slightly surprised, but only if they had never realised that there was more to the matter than clean coal, and the principle of least surprise does

1626:

undermines your arguments rather than supports them. I also note that as everyone from the IEA and the EU to Greenpeace and anti-coal commentators refer openly to clean coal as a concept, it is quite clearly an umbrella term. While this may indeed be a misnomer, attempts to classify 'clean coal technology' as a public relations term are facile; the term, rightly or wrongly, is now common parlance. I will attempt to edit this article into something genuinely NPOV over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, if I could remind all editors that a Knowledge article is not a place to stand on your soapbox, however 'right' you opinions may be.

332: 314: 1459:

carbon capture, and other environmental issues that are not specific to the burning of coal. These extraneous issues only confuse things and seem to be the source of the unbalanced POV. Environmental issues should be discussed elsewhere. However, the article does not include sufficient information about pollution that results from burning coal and how various clean coal technologies would eliminate these. In short, the article should remove the opinions and other subjects, and replace them with facts about the burning of coal. Knowledge articles should be about facts, not be opinion pieces.

2542:, \or better still, merge. Coal pollution mitigation technology dates back to the 19th Century and the term "clean coal" is predominantly US, and to a lesser extent Australian - some of the biggest efforts are in China and India, and their industry is not trying to greenwash the product, I see no evidence this term is used there. The fact that the Big Coal marketing team call it this does not require us to do their PR for them. We should use a more technically correct term reflecting the length of time people have been trying to fix the problems with coal. 1059:

article supporting clean coal and see what a blatant plug it is. In fact I don't think any such articles easiest that aren't paid promotional articles or industry websites. But if you are on a crusade to defend lost causes, why not go disparage the Flat Earth article or something? I gotta assume that you or an immediate family member works in the petrochemical or extraction industries, otherwise I can't fathom why you would jump in on the side of "clean coal". And that's coming from someone who's pro fracking lmao

2141:

also find appropriate if it described the location this equipment is at or its manufacturer. Also, I'm still not clear what I'm looking at. A better caption might be something like "Two _______ devices, which are used in carbon capture..." However that is all very nit-picky. My suggestion would be to post at COIN asking if you can add all 20 images to relevant articles without asking for permission for each one individually. Presuming you use common sense, I imagine it should be fine.

226: 208: 1156:

that coal is a fossil fuel is a theory which has been falling out of favor with scientists for some time. You reverted my edits so that you could keep a negative POV (against Knowledge policy). This article, as it stands, is a propaganda effort against clean coal. There is nothing neutral about this article, and your revert of my additions is against Knowledge policy. If you have a problem with clean coal, you will need to put in in the critisims section.

236: 412: 394: 1375:

factual information to back it up. Info needs citations, and then it has to be correctly presented. Take the line, "Currently, the fleet of coal fired electric generating plants burn 70% cleaner than they did in 1970." I'm happy to see that it is cited, or else I'd take it right out; there is no single definition of 'cleaner'. Going back to the source, I can see the qualifications made on this claim, and make them clear in the article.--

483: 78: 53: 22: 735:

cited information of a supportive nature, that would indicate that the article is not biased, but that it reflects the current knowledge of the subject. So I will put the onus on you considering that you think the article is unbalanced. Find more credible sources that support clean coal so that as a team we can all edit this article and make it more accurate and reflect the current understanding of the topic.

while producing energy from coal". Therefore calling it a "Public relations term" is incorrect. It would be a "Public relations term" if it was a term used exclusively by a small group with vested interest (corporations, politicians). "Clean coal" can be considered an umbrella term just like the "green technology". I would strongly support removing the "Public relations term" description.

1516:

presentation, and childish antics of those defending this articles horrible use of language towards neutrality, that I felt compelled to come here and throw in my complaint. Have fun ruining wikipedia with your weighted language and then trying to pass it as scholarly material... And just for the record, I could not give a damn either way about this technology. I was merely curious.

932:

charged term that is also used in PR campaigns. A such it still has a whiff of POV to me. That said, these concerns do need to be clearly addressed and the bits I wrote about them are currently rather buried in the third para. While I wouldn't decribe my initial rewrite as perfect by any stretch, the subsequent edits seem to be a little heavy-handed (if broadly well intentioned).

1661:

appreciate that there are a number of sensible concerns about it being an inappropriate term. I do not wish to set off an editing war on this particular point and I appreciate that there is some strong feeling over this - so could someone please supply a valid reference for clean coal being a term that has been specifically contrived for use in public relations.

995:

warming/climate change issues the point of view needs to be detailed, no? It is still a major issue no matter how people might feel about it's accuracy. Perhaps the CO2 issues should be detailed in a seperate section from other pollutant issues? Maybe separating it out into something like 'conventional pollutants' and 'carbon emissions'?

3084: 1183:

fossil fuel is an undisputed fact. Environmental impact is also not disputed by any reputable source. Even the coal industry recognizes the need to clean up their product... hence they put together this whole "clean coal" campaign. After all, why would we need to clean anything up if it were not dirty/hazardous in the first place?

912:

describes, essentially, a broad spectrum of technologies that are being developed and utilised to reduce discharged toxins produced in coal-fired electricity plants. The term is vague because it is broad and, whether we like it or not, it is the term that is most commonly used in public discussions about potential future coal plants.

1095:

from this page on pages dealing with methods of using coal and methods of dealing with coal byproducts? Other parts obviously belong on a page on Global warming. I’m not so interested in this subject to get involved in “what goes where” but it just seems silly to be trying to twist this advertising phrase into a NPV page.--

1560:, in a similar way to "surgical warfare". I'm inclined to agree. The opposition has failed to describe in detail how a high percentage of the pollutants can be kept out of our environment, even if we concede that it is ok for clean coal technology to cost several times the cost of dirty coal technology. 1804:

stationary emissions producers. Unfortunately most environmental activists and firms focus on the carbon content of coal as inherently evil. Intelligent discussions are being bogged down here by unfair bias and reactionary bias. We need an admin moderated editing process to fix this political warfield.

1498:

based on cost and pollution in relation to other energy sources, I felt that it more or less described exactly what the term has been coined to mean: an ongoing series of technologies designed to address public concern about the environmental impact of coal fired power plants. Just my 2 cents worth. --

2955:

I started a new section: "Clean Coal and Health". So far, the article addresses coals effects on the environment, but not the effects on human health. I expect that I will expand on this, drawing largely from Alan Lockwood's reserch as outlined in "The Silent Epidemic: Coal and the Hidden Threat to

1932:

I suspect most of the actual technologies related to clean coal are worthy of their own articles, and this this article (or subsection) would become a rather brief summary of the technologies, with appropriate wikilinks allowing the reader to learn more as desired. Thus, this article would be short,

1803:

I would be willing to edit this entry to add the engineering perspective, which is likely to be more conceptually objective, but I'm not sure any edits made to this article will be spared the political knife. Environmentally friendly coal is a difficult project, but plants have the advantage of being

1458:

Might I suggest that the problem with the article is not just its POV, but rather that it covers too much in a short article. The article would be much better if it only covered clean coal technology and move the other issues to references at the bottom of the article. This includes global warming,

1440:

The objective is not to show any particular subject as having balanced pros and cons, but to simply reflect the reality of the current knowledge. Simply because Clean Coal still has significant cons does not mean that we have to somehow balance them with an equal number of significant pros. We simply

2938:

I found information regarding how the term "Clean" originated, so I added this information near the beginning of the article, to say that the term "Clean Coal" started off by describing coal that was washed (or cleaned) at the mine; whereas now, the term also encompasses Carbon Capturing and Storage

1683:

Note to all. I have drafted a new opening paragraph which I believe balances the different views on this subject that I intend to upload after Christmas. As this would be a major change, I would like to give a few details about the citations I have used so that people will be prepared for it (and so

1497:

After having read this article, I actually felt that it was fairly decent at describing what the technologies do. In fact, I was thinking that the neutrality argument was claiming that it was too pro-clean coal until I read the comments. While it is true that the article can use some more statistics

1307:

It can and probably is, both an “Umbrella term" and a "Public relations term”. I would have said “advertising term” but – though also true – it may sound a bit negative. I think it is ok the way it is now (with my last edit). (But don’t try to tell me it is a “generic term”.) In industry when they

1094:

It’s no wonder that it seems so difficult to get this page to be NPV. The term “Clean coal technology” is an advertising phrase. If you search with Google the results come back for coal-industry sites and to sites objecting to the implication of the term. Wouldn’t it be better to include the content

1023:

Regardless of points of view on global warming, the purpose of clean coal technologies is to address these environmental concerns (be they real or imaginary). The article ends up using clean coal technology as a soapbox on which to discuss issues that aren't directly relevant. I think the focus of

I am removing the term "Supporters" because the facts should be presented objectively without introducing bias. Supporters of clean coal use the Great Plains Synfuels plant to support the technical feasibility of carbon dioxide sequestration. Carbon dioxide from the coal gasification is shipped to

2905:

I am currently working on a school research project and I am interested in expanding the section on "clean coal and the environment". There are currently a few places that need to be cited, and the sentences that use the word "Supporters" make the section seem like it is showing a one-sided stance

2653:

We should definitely have a redirect and definitely reference it in the lede. But popularity? It's a PR term they have spent a fortune on pushing, but still a relatively new one. It's also very obviously inaccurate. Coal produces environmental damage from the mine to the smokestack. Habitat damage,

1788:

Part of the issue here is that clean coal technology isn't just about carbon capture, but also relates to the removal of other pollutants. Plusaf, you are right that this is a biased article. There are a lot of people who seem to want to sand on their soapboxes on this issue; to be honest, I reckon

1740:

my expectations upon clicking the wikipedia link were to find a definitional discussion with explanations of what "clean coal" means and how it may be achieved, rather than an ongoing diatribe of how clean coal is impossible and forty-three ways that coal mining and coal-driven power generation can

1710:

OK guys. Looks like things are progressing nicely - thanks to all who have and are continuing to contribute. I am a little concerned that we're attempting to cram a bit too much into the opening section and it's starting to become a bit unwieldly again. I was thinking of trying to summarise some of

1625:

I am somewhat concerned that an article about a potentially major trend in global energy production (for better or for worse) is being mangled by POV ideologues on both sides. I would remind both pro- and anti- 'clean coal technology' editors that putting your points across in an amateurish fashion

1358:

I was just listening to an NPR discussion on clean coal technology. I have also read many articles in the news/science magazines/ online content and blogs. My opinion is that "Clean coal technology" has become a widely accepted term to simply mean "use of technology to minimize environmental impact

and has no place in an article. You seem very fond of quoting Knowledge policy on POV but are not very familiar with all the policies of Knowledge. May I suggest you read them? I would also suggest you actually read and understand the terms you talk about before you make changes. That coal is a

The IPCC has, in its existence, been wrong in every projection of global warming they have made, normally by an order of magnitude. Worse, the only public discussions concerning IPCC findings are based on the politically biased management summary, which in itself is not supported by the underlying

2608:

a question of whether coal is actually clean or dirty, as mentioned above; that is a matter of irrelevant semantics. The "clean coal" title describes only part of the topic; it is not just a common name for the same concept. There is more to dealing constructively with coal than just getting clean

1394:

This article is overwhelmingly a POV against clean coal technology. There are very few citations that support clean coal, but editors are quick to cite criticisms and expand these areas of the clean coal article. Therefore I am going to seek to expand the pro side to balance this article out. So

1223:

I agree this article is a place where two opposing views are using disinformation through googeling political sources i.e. non-scientific to push their view. For example someone quoted a source that says scrubbers are used to remove particulate. Scubbers remove SO2, SO3, Hg(2+), etc to less than

1155:

You are totally wrong. First it is NOT only used by coal industry promotees. Second, environmental impact is completely subjective and nowhere near agreed on by most scientists; to date, there is little to no science in the supposed claims which are largely politically motivated. Third, the idea

1140:

Whether there are flaws in the concept or not, it is still an advertising or public relations term only used by coal industry promoters (including a current rash of politicians). Environmental impact is studied and has been verified. It is not “subjective”. And, why did you try to suggest there is

994:

FarNiente - I see your points here (although I don't personally agree with your views on AGW). However... as a lot of the criticism of 'clean coal' refers to CO2 emissions, which have been identified as a major sticking point (correctly in my view or incorrectly in your view) due to alleged global

911:

I concur to a point here. I agree with your point re: the public relations term by and large - I'm not sure that it needs to be specifically in the opening paragraph, but it does need to be given appropriate weight. I'm not sure that the phrase is really that vague in terms of common parlance - it

753:

After having reviewed all of the posts on this particular article, I must admonish CrimsonSage and other contrarians for their attempts to present an opposing view. You might as well tell a Muslim the Mohammed did not leap into heaven on his horse from a rock in Jerusalem or tell a Christian that

I don't see any significant conflict of interest here and am wondering if images shouldn't be treated more like self-citation COIs, where the user is allowed to make the edits themselves, unless someone tells them not to. The proposed caption doesn't even include the company's name, which I would

1406:

The article is very well cited and just because you don't agree with the information cited does not make it unbalanced. The fact that you are actively looking for "pro clean coal" information is an example of your own inability to be objective. Find legitimate (academic, government, scientific)

1110:

It is the name that was coined by the mining industry. It is also a complete misnomer given the inherent flaws in the concept. However, it has become the common name for attempts to make coal a more environmentally friendly product. I sincerely don't like the misleading nature of the name, but

931:

My two pence on the public relations term (as someone who works in public relations, although not for coal companies...), is that although NPOV's link details a zinger of a 'clean coal' PR campaign it still doesn't really show that 'clean coal' is a PR term per se, rather than just an emotionally

921:

I also agree that the article is in a pretty appalling state at the moment and in need of a major rewrite (which I am hoping to contribute to), but I think deletion is a bit defeatist. I think we should bear in mind that a lot of people will potentially use this article as a first port of call if

1751:

as it stands, this appears to me to be a one-sided opinion piece against "clean coal", whatever "that" is. i'm tempted to google the term to see if ANY objective descriptions exist anywhere on the web. i would have expected SOME representatives from the electric power industry to have offered

1058:

That's because clean coal is widely ridiculed as a facetious concept... It's hard to write on the topic from an informed position and not come out sounding one sided -- because there is effectively only the opposition side that's raising sound arguments. If you think this is off work, go read an

954:

Good word, Woood. The descriptive "Clean" is too subjective...like Clean and Dirty, Good and Bad. Some peoples' Dirty is Good, while some peoples' Clean is Bad. In that train, "Clean Coal" is an accurate description of the best practice in cleaning up the waste stream of coal, but it does not

1515:

The very language of this article is not befitting of a neutral point of view to the subject at hand. This ought to be obvious to anyone with a background in English equivalent to a high schooler. I found this article by searching for this topic on google and was so disgusted with the method of

1479:. Additionally, with an unproven concept, that has a very specific goal of making coal more environmentally acceptable, both support and criticism of the concept are absolutely appropriate, just as if this were a viable technology we would see sections for both the strengths and shortcomings. 1374:

Log one in for keeping both terms on the page. Although I understand that this term has been industry jargon since the 1970's or so, most people's exposure to it is as a public relations term used heavily over the past few years. This article needs to strike a balance of opposing views with

792:

The invective being leveled at those who are attempting to modify the article into a reasonably unbiased presentation of facts is a reflection of the zealotry of those who wish to shove the AGW theory down everyones throats, at an enormous and unprecedented cost to the industrialized economies.

1995:

The coal industry has responded by running advertising touting clean coal in an effort to counter negative perceptions, as well as by putting more than $ 50 billion towards the development and deployment of clean coal technologies, including carbon capture and storage. The expenditure has been

I disagree. Citing Discover Magazine, The London Guardian, and several obviously biased web sites does not constitute a well-cited article. References like this only show what direction political winds are moving in, and say nothing technically significant. More scientific and peer-reviewed

1197:

Nitack. No, I am not confused at all, actually. As I've explained earlier, the natrual coal synthesis process is a distraction from the idea of NPOV of this article and we can discuss all that later. And, that has nothing to do with my personal views or opinions. As mentioned, abiotic oil is

892:

I suspect a reason that this article is considered POV on both sides, as well as being generally of poor quality, is that it is based on a term that is both an umbrella term and a public relations term. If there is any good content it should be shifted to various pages (e.g. Carbon Capture and

I'm sorry, but was that a factual rebuttal, a snappy repartee, a spirited rejoinder, or and ad hominem attack? As I previously stated, attacking the orthodoxy of a religion is a futile and pointless effort. All we can do, as technologists, is point out the errors often inherent in religious

I note that Neutralpov has reverted the changes removing 'public relations term' from the initial paragraph, citing prior concensus. Having gone through the talk archive, I cannot see any consensus for keeping 'public relations term' in the article (quite the reverse, in fact), although I do

It is an industry term. Some people think there are flaws in the current implementations or proposals, others don't -- that's POV. Since we do not know all the ways to use coal, it is unrealistic to make a blanket statement and say there are inherent flaws in the concept. Especially since

Jesus did not rise from his tomb. The entire AGW argument has become a religion to those who believe, and can never be disputed by mere facts. Unfortunately, that religious body has overflowed over into a technical article on coal that is full of opinion, but bereft of fact.

1773:

I understand wikipedia practice is to have For and Against for controversial topics on one page. It might be useful to have a link to the actual technology of Carbon capture and storage at the top of this page. That is the page to have the technology article.

Quite apart from anything else, "Clean coal technology" violates the "common name" guideline because it isn't one technology, it's half a dozen. "Coal pollution avoidance technologies" or something would be clearer, but I'm not entirely enthused by it.
