NY Time's Andy Revkin on the 'Allure of Clean Coal' [2]
On his NY Time's DotEarth blog, journalist Andy Revkin writes: [7]
This enduring notion — that the world can have its coal and climate, too, by pumping the carbon dioxide from combustion into the earth — has been promoted by institutions including Peabody Energy [8], the world’s biggest coal company (see its coal-sales ticker here [9]), and the Natural Resources Defense Council [10]. A group that pushed the clean-coal theme at the Democratic convention, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity [11], will be heading to the Republican convention next week. Environmentalists have attacked the group as the latest in a string of industry propaganda mills [12]."
