The CEO of our local electric co-op has already told us to expect our electric bill to triple by 2012 if clean coal is off the table.
Just remember that clean coal is not cheap. Lots of processing before burning means your bill will still go up at least some.
Quite a bit in fact since many of the "clean coal" technologies being touted in their ads do not exist yet, are still in the R&D stage, or at most in a pilot plant. At best, it will be "cleaner" coal, not the completely clean they are trying to make it sound.
