They did a fantasy drawing of a coal burning power plant where they pump all of the smoke down into massive caverns deep in the earth. As if it wouldn't burst out somewhere else or pollute the water tables.

There is no such plant anywhere on the planet.

They talked about building one in Australia as a pilot project but it was cancelled.
