Video: Coal may be the bridge to ushering in new energy technology
Friday, March 27, 2009Coal -- America was built in part from the black organic material. The Industrial Revolution was forged from the heat that coal provided, but the pollutants that belched from the numerous smokestacks that dotted the American landscape became an undeniable problem.

Penn State researchers Jonathan Mathews and Harold Schobert are examining ways to burn coal more efficiently and cleanly. Watch the In Motion video here to learn more about their research.
