According to a new study released by Management Information Services, Inc. and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), American taxpayers see a quick and significant return on federal investment in clean coal technologies — gaining $13 in benefits for every dollar the government invests. The primary benefit: reduced electricity rates resulting from lower compliance costs as coal-generated plants deploy new technologies to meet air quality standards.
