Coal isn't bad because there are new technologies that allow use of coal with minimal hazardous effects to the environment. It's just expensive and corporations don't want to put up the expense. Gas flaring is something that can be reduced if the money is spent but as is seen in Nigeria where the government does not regulate, it is unlikely that the extra money will be spent to reduce gas house effects if energy from coal is used.Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00402366445280940266[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-43591020478546986582008-07-29T19:40:00.000+01:002008-07-29T19:40:00.000+01:00This issue is frankly too tiring for words.onydchichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02459970153935215583[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-11901481941073930552008-07-29T17:54:00.000+01:002008-07-29T17:54:00.000+01:00It is shockingly sad that Nigeria flares up that much energy and has done so for decades. Just imagine the difference converting that to sales or power generated would make in the economy and lives of people.Naapalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868505901688507321[email protected]
