I think the zero emission coal demonstration plant Dave was writing about actually was built in Mississippi by Obama at several billion$ and was an economic failure...big time. It was mentioned in the original article.
I'm not sure that is correct---they were two different projects as I recall. I have not followed the one in Mississippi and in fact had forgotten about it until reading the article. However, I am glad you know who to blame it on
