Coal Industry Unveils Disturbing iPhone Application

Cross posted from Bruce Nilles’ blog on Climate Crossroads

We’ve had some disturbing news come to us from the coal industry. It’s appropriate that it comes to us on April Fool’s Day, as it is a coal industry iPhone application that is designed to fool the American public about the devastating cost of coal.

Watch this video from our Executive Director Michael Brune to learn more.

While this iPhone app is a bit shocking, I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised coming from an industry that, besides the coal carolers and the coal coloring books, also unveiled pro-coal cell phone ringtones last year. (We gave those ringtones a reality check in this video)
