The recruitment of Joel and Ethan Coen marks an escalation of the battle over coal. The final showdown could come as early as this April, with Barack Obama pressing Congress to pass green energy legislation.
Unlike their breakout film Fargo, which showed a corpse being put through a wood chipper, and last year's No Country for Old Men, which had a psychotic killer go after a slew of victims with a pressure-driven device normally used to kill cattle, coal industry executives do not come to a violent end.
The brothers are to produce another television ad for the campaign later this year.
The Reality Coalition, an offshoot of Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection, began focusing on industry claims that clean coal was feasible late last year, with high profile advertising campaign.
The anti-coal campaign has been taken up by other organisations, which have taken out ads on bus stops and metro stations against coal.
Reality's earlier television ad showed a man in a hard hat opening the door to a clean coal facility – which turned out to be an empty patch of desert (see below).
