How sad that Gov. Huntsman is still touting coal. Hasn't he learned by now that coal is dirty and there is no carbgon capture or sequestration technology available - as admitted by the coal industry. It's years away, if ever. Very disappointed that the governor doesn't tout renewables for the health of his constituents and the economy of Utah.

Coal must continue to be part of the solution, because renewables will not provide enough energy to keep the economy going anytime soon. But clean nuclear energy also is clearly needed or we'll see energy shortages and damage to our economy.

Energy needs are growing so rapidly that coal must remain part of the solution as renewables are being developed. Even then, it will take more clean nuclear energy to meet Utah's and the nation's energy needs and keep the economy strong.
