Hah! Back in the 1990's the Air Force had plans for a 49-megawatt coal-fired electrical generating facility at a base in Northern California, that utilized proven, fluidized-bed technology for clean emissions. The plant was to be a back-up to off-base supplied commercial electricity, which was subject to curtailment on short notice by the power company. Guess what killed it? Ignorant neighborhood protesters waving signs which read, "Baby Killers". Never, but never underestimate the power of organized, well-funded stupidity.
