Dick Gephardt signs up with Peabody Coal

Vie, 07/06/2007 - 10:57 — ebw

The lobbying disclosure form for former Speaker of the House, Minority Leader, and candidate for President, Dick Gephardt, lists Peabody Coal has his client and the specific current and anticipated lobbying issues are: "avoidance of carbon caps, funding for production of clean coal technologies".

There is no such thing as "clean coal". The former Speaker also serves as economic advisor to the Clinton for President campaign.
