Coal Power Technologies Explained Simply - Mark Fennell - Bog

This book discusses everything which decision-makers and citizens need to know about Coal Power. The major topic areas include: Coal Mining Operations, Mining Safety, Operation of Coal Power Plants, Environmental Effects, and Clean Coal Technologies. Importance of this book: In our society today many aspects of coal power are vigorously debated. However, too often people with an agenda present lies about coal power as absolute truth. Too often the policy-makers make bad decisions based on emotions or on myths rather than on evidence. Too often the citizens are bombarded with conflicting information, leaving them confused. That is why this book is so important. This book provides the unbiased, accurate truths of all aspects related to coal power. I had no agenda when researching and writing this book. I never had any preconceived theories to prove or disprove. Certainly I had questions (the same questions you do) and I wanted to learn the absolute scientific truth regarding each issue. Therefore I spent a significant amount of time to find the answers. I embarked on an expedition, a quest, to learn the science, to understand the technologies, and to separate truth from fiction, for all aspects of coal power. In this book you now have the summation of my journey. In this book you will find the accurate, unbiased answers to all your questions regarding coal power technologies. Information Not Found Anywhere Else: In addition to the accurate information, this book also has information which is not found in any other book, journal, or website. Some of this information includes: 1. Mining Safety: The latest mining safety techniques, from experts in West Virginia and Kentucky. This includes techniques to reduce Black Lung, which are not yet known to the highest levels of the Mine Safety Health Administration. 2. Temperature Data: You have heard about "global warming" - now see some actual temperature data. Find temperature data here that you will not find in other books. 3. Mercury Emissions: The science of mercury emissions from coal power plants has only recently been studied. The data is also scattered. This is the first book which collects all the latest science behind mercury emissions and mercury capture. 4. Global Temperature: An entire chapter is devoted to the issue of coal power and environmental temperature. This is a complex topic, with many factors. In this book you will find a clear explanation of each factor, combined with a chemical engineer's analysis of each. 5. This book also explains the information very clearly. There are many scientific concepts. There are many concepts related to chemistry, physics, and biology. All of these concepts are explained very clearly, so that any reader will be able to understand, regardless of background.
