We had earlier reported to you on this development, but wanted to send it along again, in further support of our thesis that the by-products of coal utilization, the CO2 and even the coal ash, can be constructively utilized - if we just put our minds to the task, instead of allowing ourselves to be drawn into a running firefight with those who are, justly, concerned about the environment.
An excerpt:
"An assistant professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, (Prof. Mulalo) Doyoyo has developed a new structural material based on these leftovers from coal burning. Known as Cenocell, the material offers attributes that include high strength and light weight – without the use of cement, an essential ingredient of conventional concrete."
Our earlier research indicates that Cenocell could have a lot of good uses. It's a development that supports our theses that we can, and should, work towards the goal of making our utilization of coal a win-win proposition for all - and that means all of us - concerned; and, that coal has many, as yet unrealized but quite valuable, potentials.
