This web video is part of a viral marketing PR campaign by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, a front group for the coal industry. The "clean coal" campaign tries to counter coal's association with the problem of global warming.

Greenpeace has written a detailed critique of the myth of clean coal, titled False Hopes: Why Carbon Capture and Storage Won't Save the Climate." For further information, see: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?...

    Reminds of the early televised cigarette ads from the 1950s.

    The fact that we're putting the word clean before the word coal exemplifies the fact that

    the coal industry has won and they're still lying to us decades later.

    The same reason why the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Carnegies all slept like babies. They were rich as hell and could care less about their fellow man.

    No more burning fossilized dead plants for energy. Solar, wind, wave and nuclear are better options.

    yea, because cartoons are so convincing. if you're gonna try to convince people coal is clean, state some facts, say some numbers, but don't just say stuff that you technically can't be sued for lying about. gosh!
