Carbon zero coalmines?

Showalter Micropower could make the carbon out-put of a coal mine in West Virginia ZERO. I know it sounds crazy but with the use of natural gas and greenhouses this could happen. SMP would off-set 121 tons of C02 with replanting trees on the same coal site. The power 1/2 the price of GRID power saves money for the mine. The trees make the older parts of the mine a carbon sink. In 5 years Showalter Micropower would be carbon -ZERO-. In ten years the fuels that the mines use would be off-set by the trees replanted. So a WV coal mine could be carbon -ZERO- Showalter Micropower cant make the coal that goes out of the mine carbon zero, but everything at the mine could be.

Aleppo Pine can remove an average of 48,000 C02 kg per year. That is one tree.
Melia azedarach, ten trees of this type can remove C02 = to 10,373 cars a year.
Now say Showalter Micropower cant make a coal mine carbon zero.

Comment by Charles Showalter on June 29, 2009 at 6:17am: Thanks Mark, but flue gases are not what Im try n to fix. The power used to dig coal and to fuel at the mine are what I can turn carbon zero. Im far too small to fix carbon from coal.

Comment by mark on June 29, 2009 at 3:28am: One way to help with the coal burning plants is to use algae processors to clean the flue gases ... check out the work that several folks at MIT have been doing

Comment by Charles Showalter on June 28, 2009 at 5:20pm: I also use PV at my home in the form of a solar generator, and have from around ten years. Like I always say, Stop hugging trees you may break a limb. Or stop hugging trees and plant one.

Comment by Charles Showalter on June 28, 2009 at 4:27pm: I also stated that the mine would be carbon zero, not the coal or where it goes would be carbon zero. SMP would be carbon zero, and the C02 from the fuels used at the mine would be carbon zero by off-sets.

Comment by Charles Showalter on June 28, 2009 at 4:15pm: Also the trees will be fast grown in greenhouses at a rate 130% faster then normal. When they are replanted in 18 months they will have grown into 3 year old trees, not seedlings. 3 year old trees will be replanted. All of this info. is backed by many years of Doctors just like yourself. READ before you make up your mind, I would think better of you if you did. (info. can be found on D.O.E. web under F.A.C.E. project doing just as I say.)

Comment by Charles Showalter on June 28, 2009 at 4:06pm: I knew full well I could bring out the DOCS on this. Aleppo Pine is able to capture an average of 48,000 C02 kg per year. This is only one tree. Melia azedarach, ten of these trees can off set 10,373 cars a year in C02. I ve been working on just this for SIX years and I too have MANY doctors on my side also WVU (West Virginia is backing me with the info. needed to make this work) So Im not a kid, and Im going to do this with or without the likes of you !
