The US EPA says that burning coal is a leading cause of global warming pollution. We've long been hearing about "clean coal" - but is there really such a thing?




The folks behind ThisIsReality.org don't think so, and neither do the Coen Brothers, who produced this mock commercial for a clean coal air freshener.

The Coen Brothers, who directed films such as The Big Lebowski and Fargo are also responsible for another clean coal commercial - a tour of a "clean coal facility."


What do you think - is there a such thing as clean coal? Or is it all a bunch of bull?

LOL!!!
i was on a website and it said "experience clean coal", so i (naturally) started coloring. everything was so black and sparkly, and then it stopped in the middle and said "in reality, there's no such thing as clean coal"
i thought it was referring to carbon content, but i guess not =P

clean coal is so BS, it's not even funny. what we to start using is renewable energy such as solar or wind energy that doesn't pollute as much "clean coal".

there is no such thing as clean coal. the cleanest coal is no coal at all.
