2007 - 2008 ABEC Ad Campaign on CNN

According to a June 20, 2007 piece on the American Coal Council website, "Americans for Balanced Energy Choices, in cooperation with Waylon Ad has announced the release of the second spot in a $10 million bid to promote coal-based energy. The ad will air on CNN for the remainder of the year and further ads are being discussed. The St. Louis ad agency's spot, which follows a debut effort that broke in April, suggests coal use is economically efficient and environmentally friendly. In the latest spot, a panorama of people and faces, including a man in the middle of a field with an electric guitar, is shown as a voiceover touts coal use. Utilities, the viewer is told, have invested more than $50 billion in new technologies to reduce emissions by one-third, and coal provides more than half of all electrical power.[2]
