Clean coal technology has to do with refining coal and trapping carbon emissions. It actually is clean, it's just not what liberals want b/c they are all heavily invested in wind turbines and solar panels. Clean coal doesn't meet their expectations for progress.
Imagine if the trees held a summit and decided to reduce global oxygen levels b/c it was endangering the planet and leading to long cold winters.
Okay that's absurd, but the faux moralism of the green initiative should be tempered with a bit of reason, imo.
Clean 2-stroke technology has to do with separating the lubricants from the fuel source. The technology to inject a highly atomized air/fuel mixture didn't exist until recently so oil and fuel had always been mixed. Unfortunately, small amounts of lubricant still have to be burned (from what I understand) to keep the injectors working at peak efficiency, but these lubricants are required in very small quantities so the expenses associated with making them emit less pollutants when burned is negligible to the consumer.
Clean 2-strokes are lighter, simpler, and less expensive to produce. Pretty much everything you could ever want for a leisure industry like boating or motorcycling. Yamaha already produce clean two-stroke outboards. Unfortunately, 2-strokes have been banned from motorways everywhere. Changing poorly conceived environmental laws might be a lost cause in this day and age.
