Coal for the future?

Aswell as the new generation of Nuclear Power Stations the government has given the go-ahead for a new generation of coal-fired power plants - but only if they can prove they can reduce their emissions.
Up to four new plants will be built if they are fitted with technology to trap and store CO2 emissions underground.
