The executive branch and even congress to some extent has been committed to clean coal ever since the idea has come about.....
And yet coal plants are shutting down and production slowing.
Most of that "committed" has been throwing some money at research for political reasons, but I don't think there has been a REAL political effort to push coal for much of it as much as gather some votes with some funding and vocal support .... and just let the chips fall where they may.
I think there's a vast range of possibilities when it comes to "support" from elected officials and "control" of a market or such.
