In The Meantime

clipped from wattsupwiththat.com

Don’t worry, the University of Wyoming in Cheyenne, where the new NCAR supercomputing center will be, is already on top of the situation. This is from their press release May 26th, 2008:

The University of Wyoming is ready to research clean coal and wants proposals from both academic and industry organizations. With the help of the Wyoming state government, they’ve arranged for up to $4.5 million in research funds — which can be matched by non-state funds.


And, Wyoming already has their hand out to Presdient Obama:

From CBS in Denver:

Colorado, Utah, Wyoming Seek Clean Coal Funding

DENVER (AP) ―

The governors of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are asking President Barack Obama to fund the development of clean-coal technologies in the West.


Yup, clean coal will power that new NCAR supercomputer any day now, and we’ll be paying for it.

In the meantime:

I’m sure NCAR will let us know how those wind turbines work out for that other 10% of the power.
