Conclusions: “stopping climate change: The case for coal and hydrogen”

Abstract

This book demonstrates that by shifting electricity production from coal, natural gas and oil to coal gasification (with carbon capture and sequestration), nuclear power, and renewables, and shifting from gasoline to hydrogen made from coal to power most vehicles, we can eliminate most local air pollution, meet or exceed societal goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% below 1990 levels by 2050, reduce our consumption of water, and virtually eliminate our dependence on imported oil, thereby significantly improving national security.
