Calls on Coal Industry to Live up to the Promise of So-Called “Clean Coal”
On December 4, the Alliance for Climate Protection , League of Conservation Voters, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club launched the “Reality” Coalition, an US national grassroots and advertising effort to tell a simple truth: in reality, there is no such thing as “clean coal.”
Environmental experts agree that coal is the dirtiest fuel America uses to produce electricity. The “Reality” Coalition, then, is challenging the coal industry to come clean – in its advertising and in its operations. Coal cannot be considered clean until its carbon dioxide emissions are captured and stored.
