Tell Obama & McCain: We Need Clean Energy, Not 'Clean Coal'

[Ladywriter 7,783]

During the Vice Presidential debate, both Senator Biden and Governor Palin touting their support for "clean coal". But both presidential campaigns and Congress are missing the point: Conventional coal-burning power plants are the leading cause of global warming pollution in the United States. "Clean Coal" is a myth--a contradiction in terms. Coal companies claim they can develop coal plants at some point in the distant future that will capture and sequester carbon pollution. But carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is unproven and exorbitantly expensive.

We need real solutions, not coal industry myths. Use the form below to send a message to both Presidential campaigns: We need clean, green energy now!
