Regarding coal and methane: clean means less sulfur content while dirty means more acid-rain-causing sulfur content. For example: East Asia uses mostly dirty coal, hence the higher amounts of [mostly] local acid rain.
Also 'overheard', say 1990: "Germany's famous 'Black Forest' , due to acid rain, has turned black." Further {good news} to this, I recently [2005] heard another report that specifically stated that "this is no longer the case."
