Clean Coal is using Pres. Obama's words from the campaign trail in its commercials.

The coal co's are giving themselves an endorsement from Pres. Obama and making it seem as if Pres. Obama is behind their .org site. This is the same site that featured dancing/ singing Christmas Coal that reminded me of the Christmas Poo from South Park.

1. You mean "Clean Coal" (I hope)

Yes, I was appalled when Barack used the term. Haven't heard it since from him.

2. I said Clean Coal.. Nothing about coal is clean.. and I highly doubt it

will ever be. The increase of mercury in our air, watersystems, and bodies is atrocious. I don't see how it is possible to make coal clean. There may be some genious out there who discovers a way to burn the coal in an environmentally clean system that captures all emissions and has a way in which to dispose of the potash.. that same shit that fell out of the holding tanks and into the river just a bit ago.

3. "Clean Coal" is the name of a decades long DOE project we've already spent billions on

In case you didn't know we've funded the Clean Coal program since the late 80s or early 90s and we've spent billions of dollars on it already.

4. It's clean coal "technology"........

and President Obama was only saying as a candidate, that it could be developed....not that it existed.

5. I really hate that, especially after watching the documentary

"Burning the Future: Coal in America" on Sundance the other night. There's no such thing as clean coal. http://www.burningthefuture.org/show.asp?content_id=14089
