Debunking the myth of clean coal

The American public heard a lot about "clean coal" during the election this year, but a new campaign from the Reality Coalition, LCV and others argues it simply doesn't exist.

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm is in Washington to talk to President-elect Barack Obama's transition team on energy issues, stoking speculation that she may be appointed U.S. Energy secretary.

Lisa Wozniak, executive director of the Ann Arbor-based Michigan League of Conservation Voters, tells the Detroit News " Granholm embraces fully the fact that our energy future is tied to our economic future. She's been a very intelligent voice on the national scene where she represents a state for which the manufacturing sector is the biggest part of the economy."

The East County Magazine in California says environmental protection is very important to San Diego County voters, and says they trust scorecard data from LCV and CLCV.

And finally, in Newsday, the NY League of Conservation Voters praises a greening effort by Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi and his Westchester County, New York counterpart Andrew Spano
