The Coen Brothers Take On ‘Clean’ Coal

The Reality Coalition has a new campaign ad exposing the lie behind “clean” coal. This one was directed by Academy Award winning film makers, Ethan and Joel Coen, and includes the great line, “clean coal harnesses the awesome power of the word clean”.

Clean, clean, clean. You can say it as many times as you want but it still doesn’t apply to coal. Jeff Biggers’ wrote a  Washington Post Op Ed last year. The title states it perfectly: What a Load. ’Clean’ Coal? Don’t Try to Shovel That.
