With Congress knee-deep in energy and farm bill negotiations, the coal industry is looking to get in on the action, pushing for
huge subsidies to turn millions of tons of coal into transportation fuels. It’s a dirty, expensive proposition that could worsen
global warming and pollute our air, land and water.
If the concept of ‘liquid coal’ seems a bit fuzzy to you, you’re not alone. That’s why award-winning political cartoonist Mark Fiore invited Chester Carbonair to give us a primer of all the fun things that await in a world of liquid coal.
We hope you and your friends enjoy our lighthearted cartoon, but, the fact is, the coal industry means serious business and is sparing no expense to advance its agenda in the halls of Congress. So after you watch the cartoon, be sure to follow the links on our website to send a message urging Congress to say No to liquid coal.
