We're a little late to this party, but in case you've missed it: the most astonishing entertainment morsel for those of us interested in coal, clean coal, climate change, energy policy, ... just about anything, really.
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity has holiday cheer for all. At its America's Power site, it has built an animated show featuring joyful little lumps of coal, on which the site visitor can place hats or scarves.
Then, attired for the season and placed in a setting of the visitor's choice, the lumps sing any of several holiday carols -- traditional lyrics replaced by clean-coal lyrics. If you're sagging into that mid-afternoon slump, give this a try.
"Frosty the Coalman's getting cleaner every day. He's affordable and adorable and helps workers keep their pay.... thumpitee, thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpitee thump thump, towards energy independence we go."
You cannot get better than that. Except maybe with the other songs they've done, every single one a winner. Astonishing is hardly descriptive of it. This coal war is starting to produce some of the most unexpected things.
