PolluterWatch.com (a project of Greenpeace that holds polluters accountable for the work they’re doing to block the transition from the dirty fossil fuels of the past to the clean energy sources of the future) recently spoofed an oil ad meant to sway US voters towards the interests of Big Oil.

Philip Radford (Executive Director, Greenpeace) announced this spoof ad on the HuffingtonPost.com website under the title “Trimming Astroturf From the American Petroleum Institute’s ‘Vote 4 Energy’ Ad”.

Jack Gerard – the head of the American Petroleum Institute has threatened the President of the United States over the construction of the Keystone oil pipeline.

The pipeline obviously represents a huge commercial interest, and they are willing to fight for the money invovled.
