There is no such thing as "clean coal". People who talk about it, such as in TV commercials, are just trying to fool you with a lot of nonsense.

Burning coal always produces carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur trioxide, and carbon monoxide, and those are all dangerous pollutatants and generators of acid rain.

In addition, most of the smokestack gases listed above are strong greenhouse gases and they trap head in the atmosphere. That contributes to climate change, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the enlargement of deserts.
