  Regarding your headline that calls this ad "deceptive," I'm curious what you find deceptive about this ad. After all, it’s a fact that energy costs are second only to labor costs when it comes to determining the success of a business in a given location. Are you denying that America needs affordable electricity?

  We're excited!

  Both conventions will be historic in their own way, and we're excited to be on the ground in both Denver and the Twin Cities to participate!

  For those bloggers who will be there too... we'd love to meet you in person to discuss America's energy policy.

  Here is the contact information for the folks on our media team:

  A few things to remember

  Over the last 30 years, producing electricity from coal is 70 percent cleaner per unit of energy produced:

  A new power plant built today removes about 98 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions, more than 95 percent of nitrogen oxides and 90 percent of mercury emissions.

  The key challenge is carbon dioxide, and we are moving to the point for technology to help capture 100 percent of those emissions. On Umbra on clean coal posted 1 year, 4 months ago 17 Responses

  Brokaw's documentary

  As I recall, Brokaw didn't flak Gore's movie. In fact, I seem to remember people thinking that he was trying to compete or one-up Gore's movie. The article you link to quotes him as saying of An Inconvenient Truth: "I thought there was too much of Gore, but that's not my call."On Questions for Gore's energy plan? posted 1 year, 4 months ago 11 Responses

  I agree with this line...

  "You bet coal's going to be part of our future."

  After all, it is America's most abundant fuel source. And thanks to technology, it is cleaner than ever before. Tackling the CO2 issue is the next hurdle, but there's no reason to think investments in technology won't point us to the solution.
