        If coal is burned properly... The only fumes are a CO2+ a little bit of pure C - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 2:43:20 PM
        
        It costs money to burn coal properly, so that would be "economically irrational". (n/t) - alcaray - 11/9/2007 11:34:30 PM
        
        Opps I meant to type: If coal is burned properly... The only fumes are a CO2+ a little bit of pure S - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 2:47:49 PM
        
        Now that I think about it...Even the S burns and turns into SO2 - TAFKASE - 11/9/2007 3:33:33 PM

        Don't you think that's a choice that the burner of coal should make for themselves? - alcaray - 11/9/2007 7:16:46 AM
