Not much attention has been paid by major media outlets to the paradoxical use of the phrase, "Clean Coal." Many of us "greenies" have been shouting in the wilderness but in the society we live in today, only two things bring attention to serious issues: highly capitalized lobbying and disasters. The latter apparently got the attention of TIME and CNN. Just last month, there was a major spill of toxic coal ash in Harriman, Tennessee. This disaster is estimated to be 100 times worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster.
