    Its just so fucking stupid on its face. How anyone thought calling it “clean coal” was anything besides dumb as fuck is beyond me.

      Then you should visit Colstrip, Montana or similar coal towns. The propaganda works very well when it’s taught from before birth and everyone goes along even if they don’t agree!

        See, I understand that. What I dont understand is why every other non-coal town trump supporter didn’t immediately understand that this was a stupid as fuck grift immediately after hearing it.

        Can you explain for everybody who doesn’t want to fly into the USA to visit a coal town in Montana what one will see there?

        The propaganda works well when it the smog goes into the air and comes down as a natural occurrence beyond our control, especially when it disproportionately affects those eastward in the Jetstream. You know, the north/mid Atlantic coastal elites (just don’t mention Appalachian Pennsylvania)
