Clean Coal Test: Power Plants Prepare to Capture Carbon

Basically, the article covers two coal plants that are going to be the first to use carbon capture at actual production facilities. The US one, operated by Southern Co., is brand new and uses a bunch of advanced tech to capture the carbon. The Canadian one is an existing plant that will be retrofitted with capture technology.
So, we'll see how these work out. I suppose coal is going to be around for quite a while, so better to capture the CO2 than not, although the US one will only achieve the same CO2 output as a combined cycle nat gas plant after all is said and done. Seems a Rube Goldberg way of getting to that same place.
