Surely there is some way to capture this.

I very strongly beleive we MUST stop using coal and belching pollutants into the atmosphere.

Climate change/global warming / call it what you will MAY be part of a natural cycle, but the crap we have spat out since the Industrial Revolution must be having some effect on the overall picture.

I'm all in favour of solar / wind and other alternative methods.

Just imagine if every home had a roof of solar panels and was hooked up to the grid - we would, I understand, still need some 'static'/'reliable' generation such as coal produces, but it could be cut by a great deal.

Hear! Hear!
