A short note on Trump and CCS

 I'm probably a little late on the implications-of-trump-for-my-niche-field-post bandwagon, but we'll plough on regardless.

 The Donald has explicitly stated his support for clean coal - presumably via CCS, how else would the dirtiest fossil fuel become clean? His reasoning lies in the promise of jobs and economic growth in the coal mining industry in America's deindustrialised coal belt.

 My advice: follow the German model. There, generous renewables subsidies have contributed to a green jobs boom. Cheaper energy (see figure 4 from my last post), zero emissions and fewer environmental impacts associated with coal mining. Its a simple choice Don.
