I seem to be missing some terms in the "clean coal" equation:

C + O2 --> H2O

maybe it's more like:

C + O2 --> 2(H2O) + 6n + 4p (but I think this would be endothermic, to the tune of a few million EV here and there)

If somebody can supply the missing terms in this "equation", then I learn something. Otherwise, take it as simple sarcasm.

Oops. Should have been ... + 6n + 2p (barring some heavy water creation)

Coal is not pure carbon.
