Yesterday Hillary Clinton said all the wrong things about coal on public radio -- wrong if you're interested in solving climate. Today in Charleston, West Virginia, Barack Obama made his remarks in support of the myth of "clean" coal:

Instead of fighting this war, we could be freeing ourselves from the tyranny of oil, and saving this planet for our children. We could be investing in renewable sources of energy, and in clean coal technology, and creating up to 5 million new green jobs in the bargain, including new clean coal jobs. And we could be doing it all for the cost of less than a year and a half in Iraq.

Okay, time for a sit down!
