There is no such thing as clean coal regardless of what the industry is saying to the public

Science trumps rhetoric as the coal industry shells out $18 million in TV ads to convince people coal is a clean energy. It's about time American's get the real story about coal. It's confusing with all the misinformation put out by the coal industry, but people like the Cohen Brothers are working on that problem. Making fun of the coal industry-while sticking to facts-is a good way to reach people. But don't take my word for it. I've got two sources for you to look at this morning. A past As It Stands column on coal, and a current story from the Chicago-Tribune on the subject.
