Title
Clean Coal
Description
This advertisement appeared in the midst of the 1979 Energy Crisis in support of American Electric Power. It claims that coal can be cleaned before it is burned so that less pollution enters the atmosphere. Industry and the environment began to clash in the late 1970s, as lack of jobs and fear of foreign energy manipulation spurred backlash against environmental regulation.
