     Over the last couple of months, this term "clean coal" has been floating around thanks to news agencies. This oxymoron is just another excuse to keep coal technology to keep electricity bills artificially low and Americans feeling like they aren't one of the main reasons for climate change.
     The fallacy of clean coal has become such a trending topic that it has silenced some of the critics of coal being clean energy and in need of replacement. This term should be illegal to use for fals advertisement, and the coal companies who paid for the advertisement of this term should be fined a nice chunk of their profits. This term has confused more Americans than the IRS tax code. Many citizens now walk around with the idea that the coal that is being produced to charge their phone or laptop is not hurting the environement and our bodies. Therefore, until the necessary hint of nature fighting back like in The Happening we are stuck for four more years of zero development of clean, efficient energy.
