60 Minutes blew it!

Disgraceful!
DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT: CBS' 60 Minutes has come under fire for airing an extremely one-sided report on the "clean energy crash" that cherry picks data favorable to the fossil fuel industry while ignoring the numerous successes of clean tech. http://ow.ly/soplV

Host Lesley Stahl ignores facts such as the whopping 97% success rate of the federal government's clean energy loan program, and that wind was America’s largest source of new electrical capacity in 2012. Inst...ead, Stahl focuses on one-off failures like Solyndra and never once mentions climate change. Unsurprisingly, Exxon Mobil has been paying big bucks to promote the tweets of 60 Minutes...
