This ad is running on my TV constantly. This is a spin similar to the Tobacco Industry's Joe Camel. The fact is burning coal is the dirtiest way to produce electricity!

1. Exlpain how coal is clean to those folks in Tennessee
Looks like a Volcano blew up...it was a holding pond for their ash. All sorts of toxins in it. If something creates crap, you can't make it disappear. You just find new ways of hiding it. It's hard for people to realize, or even care about, because it's cheap.

3. Obama's pick of Chu and Holdren makes me think that

"Clean coal" is not gonna be a big part of their energy future.
