ABC Banned Al Gore RePower America Commercial
It is a shame when powerful and truthful public awareness advertising campaigns are blocked from being aired on television.
This is the "RePower America" commercial from Al Gore's We campaign that was supposed to air on ABC during 20/20. ABC defended its move not to air the spot on "20/20," citing its policy on controversial issue advertising. "All of our advertising is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the context of this particular ad was determined not to be acceptable,".
Funny thing though, the "Repower America" ad has been running since Sept. 26 on other networks and cable news channels, including CBS, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, according to Al Gore's group, the Alliance for Climate Change.
Big oil companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean green energy, their money has managed to scare ABC enough to not run this commercial.
The solution to our climate crisis seems simple.
Repower America with wind and solar. End our dependence on foreign oil. A stronger economy.
So why are we still stuck with dirty and expensive energy?
Because big oil spends hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean energy.
Lobbyists, ads, even scandals.
All to increase their profits, while America suffers.
Breaking big oil's lock on our government ...
Now that's change.
We're the American people and we approve this message.
