In spite of all the Baloney Sandwiches being hurled about in the press, concerning President Obama's supposed "War On Coal", all of them no doubt gleefully slathered with mayonnaise by his chief detractors in the Republican Party, as seen for one example, in:
West Virginia Coal Association | A Vendetta Against Coal | Latest; "A Vendetta Against Coal; By John E. Sununu; Who Says President Obama doesn’t have an energy policy? Last month it was boldly on display as the Environmental Protection Agency published rules restricting CO2 emissions for power plants";

In the very recently-published United States Patent Application centered on the productive use of Coal Ash we bring to your attention herein, we introduce a technical concept that has come up with some consistency in the course of our research into the consumption and utilization of Coal Ash in the synthesis of Cement, or materials that are in many ways like Cement.
And, keep in mind that when we use the label "Cement", it means quite a lot more than just Portland-type Cement, "PC", and Portland-type Cement Concrete, "PCC".
There exists a spectrum of, essentially, mineral-based compositions - i.e., plasters, grouts, mortars - that are, like PC and PCC, essentially fluids of a usually high viscosity when initially blended, but which, through typically a combination of both physical and chemical processes, "cure", or harden up, to form a solid and mineral-like product.

FACT SHEET: U.S.-China Commercial Relations | The White House
We regret that we are so late in bringing you what seems to be an official White House news release, or background information sheet, as accessible via the above link.
We actually recorded it quite a long time ago; but, it became lost among the, quite literally, 10,000+ reports and references we have recorded and in preparation concerning the facts that both Coal and Carbon Dioxide can be converted or, respectively, recycled into gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, and, that Coal Ash can serve as a mineral raw material for the manufacture of construction materials or as an "ore" for the extraction of valuable compounds and elements.

Jay, McKinley spar on coal ash provision - News - The Charleston Gazette - West Virginia News and Sports
We were at work researching and polishing another report, on another of the potentials for productively utilizing the solid residua that arise from our essential use of Coal in the generation of truly economical electrical power, when we stumbled into the information concerning that same issue we present herein.
You might want to be alert for that other report, which will follow in a few days.
Right now, our working titles are: "Coal Ash to Help West Virginia Gain 80,000 Jobs", and/or, "West Virginia Ships to the World on Coal Ash Highway"; and, the furtherance of such lofty goals as intimated by those titles might well hinge on our discussion herein.
