Emissions is not the only drawback with coal. Storage of the ash that contains some nasty stuff is also a big expense factor. Much of the ash is buried in unlined fills and the nasty stuff leaches into the water table. Duke power had a major ash spill from one of their NC plants a couple of years ago that polluted miles of the Dan river. It is costing them and me as their customer a small fortune to dig up all of the ash in unlined landfills in NC and move it to the safer lined landfills. Not all the ash is buried. Its being used a lot in road construction and a lot of other products can be derived from it. The one plant near me, the smaller of the two, has its ash put into use.

American Olympic athletes left the Beijing games a couple years ago because the air pollution was so bad. You can bet China isn't going to clean up their act, yet Americans are supposed to go back to the stone age and save the whole world. ??? Ain't happenin............... Americans will not give up their luxuries to appease the rest of the world, who is doing nothing about pollution.
California is supposedly the most environmental-friendly place, yet it's the filthiest place in the country.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Low points on the co2 graph coincide with ice ages?
Of course co and co2 levels are higher now and increasing in the last ten thousand years. Humans are the problem here, no other species has changed/ruined the environment like we have. Can you definitively say that co2 level fluctuation with temperature fluctuations is the cause and not the effect of the fluctuations
