Nine clean coal technology projects selected last summer by the US DOE will accomplish many, if not all, of the objectives identified early in 1986 by special US and Canadian envoys on acid rain. After the awards were announced, widespread criticism developed from the Environmental Protection Agency and others. In response, DOE submitted a report to Congress which compares the environmental and economic benefits of the nine projects with the major recommendations for a clean coal demonstration program presented in January, 1986 by Drew Lewis, special envoy to President Reagan, and William Davis, special envoy to Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. This paper summarizes DOE's response.
