Environmental Prop/Agit

All sides of the environmental/carbon debate are spending big $$ to present their POV.

There are the pro clean-coal and anti clean-coal ads.

There are ads from oil companies and car companies and spoofs on those ads (to the right - click to enlarge).

And don't forget that classic -- Chevron's hope that you can do less so they can make more.

Bottom Line: There's a lot of money on the line with climate change and government policy (this is all about political economy, i.e., the exchange of money for favorable legislation). Perhaps all these ads are being made by people working "green jobs" who will "stimulate" us back to prosperity -- and a healthy Earth.
