This made the news back in December, but I missed it. (Not surprising, given the hectic nature of the month and the broken hand slowing me down.) I was listening to a Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me podcast last week, and they had a bit about this — remaking familiar Christmas carols into odes to clean coal technology.
Yes, it is real.
The video for Frosty the Coalman has been saved for posterity. After all, who doesn’t want to sing the following?
Frosty the Coalman, is a jolly happy soul,
He’s abundant here in America and he helps our economy roll.
Frosty the Coalman’s getting cleaner every day
He’s affordable and adorable and helps workers keep their pay.
