Steven Mufson – Coal Industry Plugs Into the Campaign – The Washington Post, 18/01/2008 – http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/17/AR2008011702837.html
“The group, called Americans for Balanced Energy Choices, has spent $1.3 million on billboard, newspaper, television and radio ads … Message: coal-fired power plants can be clean, and that more of them are needed to meet the growing demand for electricity”

“Well, they’ve made a commitment to advertising, anyway. The campaign has been paid for by Americans for Balanced Energy Choices, which bills itself as the voice of “over 150,000 community leaders from all across the country.” Among those leaders, according to ABEC’s website, are an environmental consultant, an interior designer, and a “complimentary healer.” Other, arguably louder, voices in the group include the world’s biggest mining company (BHP Billiton), the biggest U.S. coal mining company (Peabody Energy), the biggest publicly owned U.S. electric utility (Duke Energy), and the biggest U.S. railroad (Union Pacific). ABEC — whose domain name is licensed to the Center for Energy and Economic Development, a coal-industry group — merged with CEED on April 17 to form the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE).”

“America’s Power Army, the sister organization to the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) (ACCCE), sent an email this week to its Astroturf ‘army’ laying out the coal lobby’s plans to barrage key Democratic targets in the coming weeks to ensure that energy and climate legislation provides sufficient loopholes to maintain the Dirty Coal status quo. America’s Power Army, formerly known by the less-militaristic name Americans for Balanced Energy Choices until August 2008, sent its ‘Eye on Washington’ Fall 2009 update.”
