The coal industry should have been left in the 19th century where it belongs. Good on Obama on trying to euthanize it.

Or have parents on fixed incomes who must do so. There is nothing wrong with working to phase it out, but those kind of increases, combined with gas price increases and coming in a recession--they don't reflect much intelligence -- or compassion. |

Americans have had 50 years to move away from fossil fuels, yet they and their "leaders" stupidly chose not to. I don't have much compassion for the average American, no. Maybe if their sorry asses freeze in the dark, they'll become more accepting of clean forms of energy like wind, hydro, or nuclear.

Should we have kept the PCB transformer oil, dioxin-containing pesticide, and asbestos mining industries around for the same reason? |

Clean energy sources are even cleaner. (Unless you're one of the benighted souls who thinks that "CO2 is not a pollutant, only plant food.")

The market is changing, yes. (Of course the impact of fracking may change the bias for NG...) That still doesn't explain BO's efforts to make it change faster. |

Fools! American Electric Power will have to shut down 25% of its plants. By the way, it is the largest Power Company in the US. I can't wait until you liberals on the east coast start suffering from rolling blackouts. Good luck with your wind and solar.....you're fools to believe that's the answer.
Why should you even care. Most of the coal plants are in the mid-west that you north easterners suck off. Not to mention all of the foreign fuel oil that the businesses and residents use. Maybe all of you who have been spewing all of this hot air can run all of the windmills that aren't allowed on the east coast that messes up you view. Why not close down all of the coal fired plants that produce 75% of all electric, all 102 nukes that produce 20% of all electric and the rest of us can live on the remaining 5% that solar (what a joke) and the bald eagle and golden eagle killing windmills produce. You have such a narrow view of reality.

It's the same bastards that shut down the profitable asbestos industry, causing untold numbers of workers to go get a different job.

First Obama declared war on marriage, now war on coal. HOW MANY WARS CAN WE FIGHT?! I hear coal has a lot of firepower on their side.
