Sierra Club took $26M from gas industry to fight coal-fired plants

What's the difference between the Sierra Club and a crack whore?

It's a trick question.

And from the Daily Caller:
A Time magazine blogger reported Thursday that the Sierra Club, America’s oldest and most august environmental organization, accepted millions of dollars in donations from one of the nation’s biggest natural gas-drilling companies for a program lambasting coal-fired power plants as environmental evildoers.

The Sierra Club's new buyer is Billionaire Michael Bloomberg who also bought the New York City Mayoralty.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg pledged $50 million from his personal philanthropy in July 2011 for the anti-coal program.
Is there anything money can't buy? So far the answer is NO.
Kentucky Coal Association president Bill Bissett told the meeting that Chesapeake has also funded the American Lung Association’s Clean Air Initiative. The result, he said, is that the lung health group has attacked the coal and oil lobbies while leaving the natural gas industry alone.
