Coal Industry Coloring Book Spins "Clean Coal" for Kids

What's Your Reaction?

Someone just sent one of the most ridiculous pieces of propaganda the coal lobby has produced to date.

Put out by the West Virginia Coal Association and their Friends of Coal front group, the "Let's Learn About Coal" coloring book, pretty much speaks for itself:

clean coal lobby coloring book

This coloring book is just dying to be edited and mashed, so fire up your photoshop and the best three "new versions" of this get a free copy of our new book Climate Cover Up.

You can download a full copy of the coloring book here: "Let's Learn About Coal."

Teaching children about their region’s history and importance is ridiculous? Sorry, but I beg to differ. As someone who was raised in that part of the world, learning about coal was required learning when I was in school. Coal mining is, was and will be a vital industry in places like southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia. We grew to be extremely proud of the vitally important role our region’s coal played in producing steel to literally build this country.
Mr. Grandia, when you call an attempt to educate children about the role their area plays in world as “ridiculous,” you are insulting generations of proud families who are – get this – proud of their heritage.

Author James Hoggan is right:we need money free debate!!

I had this idea:any one in the world can buy a new car today:can all in the world buy a small wind turbine (you can get tiny ones for your yacht,and see tv with the power from the windturbine)
and place it in your garden or on your roof top???.This will bee a HUGE help to keep this planet below 2,0 celcius.....THIS idea do not need 24 million dollars from EXXON,it can "shout very laud" in clean energy.....POLITIC should boost by making windturbines (silent ones...)legal:NOW!!
Go go go go.....
