As President Obama speaks to LCCC, the Department of Energy has just announced a $21.7 MM investment in Solazyme, Inc., - located in Riverside, PA - for a commercial scale biorefinery producing multiple advanced biofuels. This project will produce algae oil that can be converted to oil-based fuels.
“Advanced biofuels are critical to building a cleaner, more sustainable transportation system in the U.S.” said DOE Secretary Steven Chu. “These projects will help establish a domestic industry that will create jobs here at home and open new markets across rural America.”
Riverside is in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, where Democrat Chris Carney serves in Congress.

He's out to crush coal production and wants nothing to do with investing in clean coal research. It'll cost lots and lots of PA jobs that will not be replaced with a $21MM diversionary project. We're just supposed to take one for the Green Team.
There is no such thing as "clean" coal. We should switch all coal-fired plants over to natural gas.
clean coal is an oxymoron. glad the LV is on this president's radar.
USA1, I don't know what planet you're on, but Obama's stim package contains all kinds of money for clean coal. His Energy Sec't has said, "Coal is an abundant resource in the world...It is imperative that we figure out a way to use coal as cleanly as possible."
You are, as usual, full of shit.
Saying there is such a thing as "clean coal" and saying we will need to work to use coal energy as cleanly "as possible" are two entirely differnet things.
If you are the brainniac you tell everyone you are Ohater, you know that you are playing a word game.
Therefore it is you who runneth over with shat.
Then you better impeach Obama because his administration has just given W Virginia, Texas and Alabama $979 MM for clean coal projects.
