"The challenge with coal is the great variety in its purity and energy. If a coal is dirtier, but also more powerful, it may cause less total pollution that burning more of a cleaner, less potent coal to create the same amount of energy. CoalTek Inc., from Tucker, Ga., is trying to have the best of both worlds with a technology that improves both the fuel efficiency and environmental qualities of low-grade coal."

"In terms of making change happen, you've got to start with the companies like the CoalTeks of the world which are creating innovative technologies to ultimately create a cleaner burning fuel... so development can occur in other fuel sources, whether it be solar or wind or ethanol."

"But the reality here today is that venture capitalists are investing money in business models that are making money. So "green" is about making money, not necessarily about the immediate social impact. That benefit is an ancillary benefit from the business perspective."
