Pre-emptive Obama pander alert on ‘clean coal’

Here’s the latest from DeSmog Blog on clean slightly less dirty coal.

Nickel version: Big Coal is trotting out the less dirty coal hucksterism in West Virginia. And they’re laying it on thick:
We believe that technology within the next 10 to 15 years will be developed and tested so that we will be able to produce near-zero emission-free electricity from coal.

That’s not to mention lies about its efficiency. DeSmog Blog says 2040 is more likely for anything, let alone the pie in the sky of Big Coal’s Big Sheiss.

West Virginia, of course, is a swing state for the presidential election. Obama’s been soft on Big Coal before.

Anyway, as for Clean Coal USA, show spinmeister Cathy Coffey some e-mail love.
