下面带着对这些单词和短语的理解，尝试读一读下面的原文，看看是不是容易理解的多了呢？

At COALergy we view climate change as a very serious threat to our business. That's why we've made it our primary goal to spend a large sum of money on an advertising effort to help bring out and complicate the truth about coal. Clean coal; let's take a tour of clean coal facility. The machinery is kind of loud. But that's the sound of clean coal technology. And while burning coal is one of the leading causes of global warming, the remarkable clean coal technology you see here changes everything. This is today's clean coal technology. Finally, the positive alternative meshes with our economic challenge and our national security challenge.

America is in crisis -- the economy, national security, the climate crisis. The thread that links them all: our addiction to carbon based fuels, like dirty coal and foreign oil. But now there is a bold new solution to get us out of this mess. Repower America with 100 percent clean electricity within 10 years. A plan to put America back to work, make us more secure, and help stop global warming. One of the fastest wayes to cut our dependence on old dirty fuels that are killing our planet.Future's over here. Wind, sun, a new energy grid.New investments to create high-paying jobs. Narrator: Repower America. It's time to get real.

There is an old African proverb that says, "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." We need to go far, quickly.
