Coal Lobby Co-Opts Obama Message in New Ad

So why is it that the “clean coal” industry group running primetime television commercials taking soundbites and snippets from what Pres. Obama has said about coal. Yes, during his campaign, Mr. Obama did say he would look for ways to burn coal cleanly, but the key here is  that the coal lobby wants you to think that such technology already exists - and it most certainly does not.
