<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Group to spend nearly $2 million to promote clean coal at the conventions]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Tasermons Partner http://www.grist.org/article/coal-at-the-conventions/ Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:55:25 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/coal-at-the-conventions/1 Irony can be funny...

...$2 million wasted that brings 'em ever more closer (be it slightly) towards total financial ruin.

No one listens to their advertisements (and the ones who do already support 'em), which are ultimately fruitless (unlike some of their lobby efforts), so it's essentially $2 million down the drain.

Kinda like all the money the big car (SUV) companies spent against the new CAFE standards, only to have to de even better several months later when a public shift in consumer prefernces send 'em to the porr house.

That money could've used to help keep 'em afloat, but they flushed it away to keep to try to the status quo, only to have it ironically backfire on 'em.

See?  Funny.

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.
