		<title>Senator Webb Co-Sponsors Research Bill to Promote Cleaner Coal Technologies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Legislation Follows Four Day Visit to Southwest Virginia

Washington, DC - Senator Jim Webb today announced that he is co-sponsoring a research bill that seeks to accelerate the safe and effective development of geological carbon sequestration, which is one of the most promising new technologies for curbing carbon dioxide emissions.

The "National Carbon Dioxide Storage Capacity Assessment Act of 2007" (S.731) would authorize the U.S. Geological Survey, in coordination with the Department of Energy and the EPA, to conduct a comprehensive assessment of carbon dioxide storage capacity. Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) is the chief sponsor of the bill.

"Generations of Virginians know the value of coal's role as a domestic energy source," said Senator Webb. "This legislation is an important step to develop technologies that allow us to use fossil fuels in a more efficient and environmentally-sound manner."

Last week, Senator Webb visited with the Eastern Coal Council in Abingdon. His meeting included a diverse set of representatives from the coal industry, area universities, local technology companies and the environmental community.

"Senator Webb showed a deep appreciation for understanding the concepts before proceeding to make legislative decisions affecting the coal industry," said Barbara Altizer, Executive Director of the Eastern Coal Council. "The Coal Council appreciated the Senator's visit to the coalfields to learn more about today's clean coal technology, carbon sequestration and energy education, among other issues. The Council is pleased to see Senator Webb's interest in coal and research for coal. Coal can play a key role in helping the United States achieve energy independence."

The meeting with the Coal Council was one of several stops during the Senator's four-day trip to Southwest Virginia. Webb also toured the Laurel Mountain Deep Mine in Russell County to witness the mining process first-hand. He also visited the CGI offices in Lebanon, the General Dynamics Armament &#038; Technical Products Plant in Marion, and the Radford Army Ammunition Plant in Radford.
