NO LIQUID COAL!!!!!!
Liquid coal will NOT move America toward a clean energy future.
Better, cleaner options exist: efficiency, smart growth and renewable fuels.
Urge Congress to say NO to liquid coal!
Have you heard about liquid coal? It's a transportation fuel made from coal that is expensive, inefficient, dirty, and releases large quantities of heat-trapping carbon dioxide into our air.
Despite these drawbacks, however, Congress is getting ready to throw huge subsidies at the liquid coal industry instead of investing those taxpayer dollars in efficient, renewable energy that will help solve global warming and decrease our dependence on oil. Help us tell Congress that liquid coal is the wrong way to go!
Click here to urge your members of Congress to oppose liquid coal fuels!
The considerable economic, social and environmental drawbacks of coal-derived liquid fuel rule it out as a sound option to help move America beyond oil. Relying on liquid coal as an alternative to oil could nearly double global warming pollution per gallon of transportation fuels!
For example, using coal-based transportation fuel in a Honda Civic would mean doubling the CO2 emissions, which would be equivalent to operating a Hummer H3 run on conventional gasoline.*
Moreover, large-scale use of liquid coal would exacerbate the devastating effects of coal mining felt by communities and ecosystems stretching from Appalachia to the Rocky Mountains, including polluted air and water, devastated landscapes and a dismal record of worker safety.
There are better, cleaner, quicker, and cheaper ways to reduce our oil use - it's time for Congress to put us on a path to a clean and secure energy future.
