MPs said the government had allowed Wales fo fall behind the USA in clean coal technology and risked losing the skills of a generation of Welsh miners.
We're putting this economy, through these governors, Mr. President, and putting this country on track to lead the world in clean coal technology which we can export -- including exporting to China, which China is building coal-powered plants at a rate of one per month -- one per month.
With respect to something like coal, we made the largest investment in clean-coal technology to make sure that even as we're producing more coal, we're producing it cleaner and smarter.
But it is still very different from what is the Holy Grail of clean coal technology -- that is, a power plant that has no smokestacks because it produces no emissions.
If we're going to be after some of these big markets, they're going to be looking to see, is the United States the one that's developing clean coal technology?

Mitch McConnell said something very nice in the meeting about how he supports our goals on nuclear energy and clean coal technology and more drilling to increase oil production.
The path we're offering is to keep investing in wind and solar, clean coal technology, and make sure farmers and scientists are harnessing new biofuels to power our cars and our trucks. (Applause.) Let's put construction workers back to work rehabbing and retrofitting buildings and factories so they waste less energy.
With respect to clean coal technology, it is not possible at this point to completely eliminate coal from the menu of our energy options.
Howard Herzog of the MIT Energy Initiative points out that even when the technology is perfected it will take years to build up the capacity to construct large numbers of clean coal plants.
