"Tonight at 8 pm EST, CNN will air a Democratic presidential debate, live from Las Vegas, Nevada. A full-page advertisement in today’s New York Times states that the debate is being sponsored by the “clean coal” industry:

UPDATE: The coal industry also has ads on CNN’s debate website."

2. What's "Clean" coal? Is that like "Healthy" forests?
When did they start removing the sulfur and mercury from the coal? Why haven't I heard about the new CO2 sequestration technology?

Can they be sued for false advertising?
