I've heard Obama say over and over that he's OK with clean coal, 
although Biden said 'they' aren't in favor of using coal at all. I used 
Rob's link to listen to the whole interview. The comments weren't taken 
out of context, but he was talking about all power industries, not just 
coal. Obama said that if coal plants have to meet the same pollution 
standards as other power industries, the cost of electricity from coal 
will go up. He said the same for nuclear because we don't know how to 
safely deal with the waste. His strategy is to set standards for 
pollution, and if you can meet them and still make money, great. The 
"skyrocketing" comment IS in the full interview; he argues that to bring 
all power industries up to clean standards will cost money, and the 
costs will be passed on.

That interview was from January, and has an interesting discussion of 
the mortgage industry. Obama lays much of the blame on the rating 
agencies that gave top ratings to bad loans, fooling investors into 
thinking they were investing in something safe.
