Clean Coal Power
Several large environmental groups and former Vice President Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign yesterday claiming that "Clean Coal" -- a favored industry phrase -- is a myth. The groups announced a new umbrella group called the Reality Coalition, which charges that coal cannot be considered "Clean" absent use of carbon capture-and-storage technologies for power plants.

"Clean Coal" also refers to coal burning power plants that capture and store the excess, preventing it from contributing to climate change.
