520 _aDiscusses how engineers are working on finding a way to exploit underground coal seams to convert into energy. The solution to what is being offered as a 'clean' technique is Underground coal gasification (UCG) which removes the need for coal mines as the coal is burnt at source - engineers hope the resulting vapours can be siphoned off as fuel for gas turbines at the surface. Article questions whether coal will be the fuel for the future or create an environmental disaster.
