Inconvenient energy fact: It takes 79 solar workers to produce same amount of electric power as one coal worker
Bruddah IZ
DA
To start, despite a huge workforce of almost 400,000 solar workers (about 20 percent of electric power payrolls in 2016), that sector produced an insignificant share, less than 1 percent, of the electric power generated in the United States last year (EIA data here). And that’s a lot of solar workers: about the same as the combined number of employees working at Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Pfizer, Ford Motor Company and Procter & Gamble.
In contrast, it took about the same number of natural gas workers (398,235) last year to produce more than one-third of U.S. electric power, or 37 times more electricity than solar’s minuscule share of 0.90 percent. And with only 160,000 coal workers (less than half the number of workers in either solar or gas), that sector produced nearly one-third (almost as much as gas) of U.S. electricity last year.

EPA asked to rescind Obama’s greenhouse gas finding
Ted Hadzi-Antich, senior attorney at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Center for the American Future, joined Jacki Daily on “The Jacki Daily Show” this Sunday. They discussed two petitions filed with the Environmental Protection Agency to review the “endangerment finding” that served as the justification for former President Barack Obama’s climate change agenda.

Co2 is not pollution.
What's your position on clean coal?

So you see carbon capture processes as a waste of resources?
Clean coal is a hoax, then.

So why does the coal industry make the effort to limit it's emission?
When we play a game, we play by the rules of the game.
Coal is in the 2017 energy game.
Not hard to figure out.

They are making the process much cheaper, when realized, that will have an influence on the opinion you are given.
One lingering problem with carbon capture is what to do with the captured carbon, usually in the form of CO2 gas. They can't just vent it out - that would defeat the purpose.
Oil companies used to inject it into wells to force out more oil, but only when they could get it cheap and local, such as what was filtered out of natural gas wells. Coal burners found a new profit center by converting their captured sulfur to gypsum good enough to sell to drywall makers - maybe they will find something as good for CO2.
