We all know that clean coal doesn’t exist. Now Oscar-winning and all-around awesome filmmakers The Coen Brothers have made this short commercial on behalf of the coal industry to explain what they are doing: harnessing the power of the word “clean.”

Today marks the beginning of Power Shift 09, a climate change lobbying and education event aiming to bring more than 10,000 young people to DC. Monday, the conference turns into civil disobedience when participants will congregate at the Capitol Power Plant in DC, which is coal-fired.

Sarah Moon is covering this event for The Sunny Way and we can’t wait to hear her news. Good luck!
