Grilling Clean Coal at the Republican Convention [2]
Blogger Matt Stoller is at the Republican National Convention [7] and he had the chance to ask members of the "coal is the best thing ever" team - bought and paid for by the coal industry [8] - whether they thought coal is actually clean.
No surprise that they had no idea:
To be fair the women in the video are just the hired help, but it does speak to the idea that this "clean coal" push being conducted by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) [9] is not a grassroots-based, average Joe and Jane citizen driven issue, but is instead nothing more than a well-financed greenwashing campaign [10] being conducted by the American coal industry.
