Dressing up coal

http://www.ThisIsReality

In reality, there is no such thing as clean coal. Learn more. Join the campaign.

Brian Hardwick, Reality Campaign Manager, appeared on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show in December 2008 to call out the coal industry's latest attempt to dress up the reality on coal. In a now aborted web campaign, the public was asked to dress up cartoon-like lumps of coal online and listen to them sing Christmas carols praising clean coal. There were songs like Frosty the Coal Man.

Provide me with a single oil, gas, or coal company that produces power without government subsidies.

You can't - all energy companies get them - and they get FAR more than renewables do. Why should renewables not be given a level playing field? Why should we subsidize dirty energy and not clean energy?

The "Clean Coal" (Orwelian) campaign was one of the most visible sponsors of the Democratic Natl Convention in '08.

While there, I saw the "Clean Coal" (diesel burning) Bus, tons of "Clean Coal Handouts like cardboard hand fans, matches, breath mints and shiny lapel pins.. All handed out by a small army of youthful hotties.

Perhaps they could market the F-22 Raptor or the "Reaper" remote-controlled missile launching jet in the same way. and call them "Peace planes"

@Soldat251 No, you're the fucking idiot. Nukes and fossil fuels get far more than any renewable. I don't think nukes get as much as fossil fuels (mostly because fossil fuels still account for much more energy generation) but they both certainly get way more than renewables do. I'd post links to reports and charts but YouTube doesn't allow links in the comments. Just look it up yourself: "subsidies for energy by type" or something similar should get you all the graphs you need.

@Pandonodrim You are a fucking idiot. Nuke and wind plants get HUGE subsidies, far larger than fossil fuel plants do,

@SmilingJack100 Electrical engineer as a job hadn't even been invented yet. Tesla beat out Thomas Edison with his inventions. Edison bought his patents because his inventions sucked, after Tesla got black balled. JP Morgan, the American puppet for the Rothschild Banking family. Jews to the 10th power ! Tesla figured out anti gravity along time ago. Alot of his invetions and patents were siezed by the Gov. when he died. His theory on Anti gravity was pretty simple.

[SmilingJack100]

@flubno Wow, you're retarded. You don't know that electrical engineers invent things. Not only only is you're point based on fantasy like anti-gravity, but you can't even choose someone who's actualyl jewish, JP Morgan was an Episcopalian, moron.

[flubno]

@SmilingJack100 Bullshit, electrical engineer ? He was on of the most important inventor of the 1800's. He did invent free energy, that wierd HAARP thing and had a patient on anti gravity. JP Morgan was the on who black balled him.

@gerbinator2009 1. Coal is made by the planet, this is irrelavant. 2. We're not saying that it's going to trigger armageddon, we're saying that the combination of deaths through particulate pollution, catastrophic dmage to agriculture and proipety due to global warming, and acid rain destruction of ecosystems WILL be a problem, and, to a great extent, already are. While they've made some progress on cutting down acid rain and particulates zero progress has been made on the climate change front.

[SmilingJack100]

@gerbinator2009 The issue is mainly that particulate pollution, acid rain, and climate change will be severe problems way before that happens, they already are serious, but we're not going to be extinctt, but with the abundance of coal, by the time it runs out those problems may, in fact, be that serious.

[SmilingJack100]

@flubno First off, tesla didn't come up with free energy, he WAS an electrical engineer but, that's basically the only thing that resembles the truth in what you just said. Everything else was complete garbage, please, run a bath, then hold your head under the water for 10 minutes, you see, a 17th century chemist named Robert Boyle invented a way for people to breath underwater, but the jews are stopping us from doing it, go prove 'em wrong!

[flubno]

Back in the 1800's a inventor named Tesla came up with a way to give everyone free energy. The Jew Bankers who were financing him hated it because there was no way for them to make money off it. So they pulled his funding and blacked balled him. We have been burning coal and nuke stuff ever sence.
