"Air Freshener", Anyone?
This is Reality and the Coen Brothers have teamed up by calling out the coal industry’s ridiculous claims that coal is clean! Their latest ad is called “Air Freshener”. Please watch it now:
A lot has happened since This is Reality launched the Reality Campaign to call out the coal industry for their dirty lies. The devastating coal ash spill in Tennessee last December was a painful reminder that using “clean” to describe coal doesn’t make it true. And last week, the Environmental Protection Agency‘s decision to reconsider carbon dioxide regulation was a tremendous wake-up call to the coal industry.
Now is a crucial moment. Our message is working, and we’ve got to take this opportunity to turn up the heat. With help from folks like the Coen brothers, it’s a little easier (and funnier). Will you help spread the word, too?

Hi Wilson … I would appreciate your help in this. No matter what they say, there is no “clean coal” as of today. Does not say it can be done but they have not accomplished that yet.

Hi Barbara … You are welcome! Leave it to the Coen brothers to really hit the homerun!

I hate this “spin” selling. It’s a bunch of people thinking they’re really clever because they can misrepresent something and get innocent people to believe them.
It should be illegal. In some cases they get caught, but not often enough. I know Coca Cola is being sued for misrepresenting their product Vitamin Water.

Hi Greener Pastures … I know what you mean. In fact, someone should sue Coca Cola for misrepresenting the original coke. They took out real sugar and fructose in it. You can really tell the difference from an over the border or overseas Coke from one in the States. It is really getting so you don’t really know what you are getting!
