Play now Coal is too valuable to burn, because it is the feedstock of the chemical industry. Solar power is now as cheap as dirty coal, so why burn any? There are three pilot solar power stations in Australia, each using different technology, but all as cheap as dirty coal, and MUCH cheaper than any hypothetical "clean coal" could ever be. Solar power can save the coal industry if they act rationally. For video about the solar power stations have a look at the ABC Four Corners energy special, and they have good documentation about renewable energy in Australia
