ABC Blocks a Renewable Energy Ad

The ‘We Can Solve It’ campaign is dedicated to promoting clean energy legislation and education, and they’ve been very effective at demonstrating to the world all of the options we have available to us right now.  We Can Solve It has run ads on many major television networks – even Fox News.  Yet, ABC recently refused to air one of their ads, even though they run ads from oil companies that mislead the public about the role fossil fuels play in the climate crisis.  Here’s the ad:

From Eco Geek:

So why on earth would ABC refuse to air one of their ads? That’s right, the above ad (which contains far more truth than either Obama or McCain’s ads have of late) has been rejected by ABC.

It is absolutely true that America’s oil and coal lobbies have consistently blocked legislation and mis-represented facts about global warming to the American people. The travesty was when the oil lobby aired the “carbon is life” advertisement, not when the We Can Solve It campaign tried to set the record straight.

This is straight up, ABC protecting it’s big-oil advertising revenue…I don’t think there’s any other way to look at it.

We Can Solve It needs your help – send a comment to ABC about why you think they should run the ad.  It takes just a minute at the We Can Solve It website.
