AMERICAN COALITION FOR CLEAN COAL ELECTRICITY
The America's Power campaign, funded by the coal and electricity industry, promotes coal as our country's solution to energy independence. They do this through the lens of clean coal, when in reality they are simply a front group for an industry lobby aimed to keep dirty coal plants in existence.
GM GAS FRIENDLY TO GAS FREE CAMPAIGN
Over the past year, General Motors has sought to promote its production and development of fuel-efficient vehicles. Its "Gas-Friendly to Gas-Free" campaign attempts to reframe GM as an environmentally responsible and progressive company. But despite GM's green rhetoric, the company remains a laggard in fuel economy and is still the leading producer of gas-guzzlers. GM also was the auto industries biggest lobbyist last year, working behind the scenes to stop Congress from increasing fuel economy standards.
GREENWASHING NUCLEAR POWER
Public Relations dilemmas are nothing new for the nuclear industry. For more than half a century, this industry has attempted to deflect attention away from the dirty and dangerous downsides of nuclear power technology. Over the years, the nuclear industry's propagandists have merged and morphed and changed their names, searching for something to hide the awful. Each manifestation of the industry front group has engaged in efforts to greenwash the truth about nuclear power.
