Expanding Coal Use While Protecting the Climate
John P. Holdren

Statement to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
Mr. Chairman, distinguished members of the Committee, ladies and gentlemen:
This country needs to expand coal use for electricity generation and for reducing dependence on oil and natural gas in other applications. But it also needs to take serious steps to reduce the risks from climate change. Reconciling these two objectives requires a three-pronged approach, as recommended in the recent report of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy that I had the privilege of co-chairing.
