72% of American Opinion Leaders Say Yes to Coal
Coal is responsible for generating nearly 50 percent of the electricity we use today—electricity that supports our livelihoods through affordable energy costs at home and at work.
So it’s easy to see why 72 percent of American opinion leaders support the use of coal. They know it generates the electricity on which our economy thrives while reducing emissions to achieve a cleaner environment through use of advanced technologies.
And that’s why we support investments in advanced clean coal technologies: to ensure that meeting the goal of reducing greenhouse emissions does not come at the expense of our economy. In fact, 84% of those we surveyed found that developing these new advanced clean coal technologies offered the opportunity to create jobs for American workers. Clean coal is a fuel for America’s power. It’s abundant, affordable and ours.
