'The Tianjin plant is small by industry standards -- about 250 megawatts or about one-quarter the capacity of a nuclear power plant -- but is important symbolically. It is the first evidence that Beijing's 2005 GreenGen program to build a coal-fired power plant with near-zero emissions by 2015 is on track. With all good things, there's a catch. This time it's price. By one estimate

Remember now, Dr. Fan's technology (from the OSU lab-Clean Coal Direct Looping) prevents 99% of emissions from escaping into the atmosphere and is reputed to be a 'cheap'* method of capture (No numbers have been published that I have seen) but is in trials for the next seven years!  Well, that's the US for you. Imagine if the Chinese were to build a plant using CDCL would
