Fuck me, it actually says "beautiful clean coal." I hope that history never forgets what moron this man was and how we all just kinda... let this happen. Myself included.
This isn't your fault any more than it's Obama's fault for that roast event that turned Trump from a democrat into a birther because his ego is so fragile. Even for the boomers, the US has been on a clear path towards right wing authoritarianism for most of their lives. McLuhan saw it, Sagan saw it, seemingly the only people who didn't see it coming are the kids who grew up in it.
Zappa saw it too!
He hella did
My favorite coal story from wayyyy back in the day when people had coal furnaces:

Leave it to Trump to try to revive a dying industry not worthy of rejuvenation.
