I think "clean" could be added to this topic. Take 'clean coal,' for example. Proponents will tout the decreased nitrogen and sulfur oxide emissions and the 20 – 40 percent reduction in water usage in IGCC (Integrated Gas Combined Cycle) facilities, but this new technology does nothing to curb the emissions of mercury, one of the most toxic substances known, and only reduces CO2 emissions by 20 percent.
