3. "Big coal may launch a 'Harry and Louise'-style disinformation campaign"
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 10:06 AM by bananas
"Big coal may launch a 'Harry and Louise'-style disinformation campaign to sink global warming solutions in Congress," said Daniel J. Weiss, senior fellow and director of climate strategy for the Center for American Progress.

One of the coal industry group's radio ads hints at those themes. A woman asks: "How can we become less dependent on foreign resources? What fuels will keep power bills reasonable and be environmentally responsible?" A man responds, "We have many questions for our candidates, and coal has to be part of the discussion."



I wouldn't be surprised if they hire people pretending to be "pro-nuke liberal environmentalists" putting out all kinds of disinformation about renewables.
