I just sent this to Fox and Friends and asked if they would pass it around to Brit, Hannity and whoever else. I also sent it to my media list and to my email contacts in the McCain campaign.

Here in western Pennsylvania, the UMW has been running ads trashing Senator McCain as being opposed to coal.

The coal industry, on the other hand, has been running ads saluting both candidates as good choices.

This latest statement from Obama only shows he’ll say anything to win, and has less scruples than Clinton.

Why wasn’t this brought out by the McCain campaign in early October, or late September when it could have had a chance to move the polls.

With two days left, the Obama-worshiping media will simply ignore it... just like the LAtimes video of Obama hugging and laughing with terrorists.

Sometimes I wonder if McCain isn’t losing on purpose just to teach Pres. Bush a lesson.

It's very survival is at stake.

Is there a transcript?

Guess what Obama told San Francisco about you?

Obama says he will bankrupt the coal industry!!! San Francisco Gate Interview Jan 2008

Interviewer: Alternatives including coal or?

Obama: Let me sort of describe my overall policy. Now what I have said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is more that is as aggressive if not more aggressive as anybody else's out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% option on the cap and trade system which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases was emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented whatever power plants that are being built that they would have to meet those the rigures of that market and the ratcheded down caps are placed imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, bio-diesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing that I have said with respect to coal, I havent been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as an ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way we should pursue it.

Biden: No coal plants are in America, build them if they are going to build them over there. Make them clean because they are killing you.

I gagged my way through it - here's a transcript:

"Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideaological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.

It's just that it will bankrupt them."

WOW! What a lying, arrogant SOB!

I know politicians lie, but man this jerk takes the cake.

I just can’t believe what I heard. Hasn’t he told us he is for coal as an energy source?

I am so disgusted, I can’t even think straight. There are SO many things wrong with this issue alone, I would have to write a book on it.

Unbelievable!
This has got to stick to him. I just can’t believe this can be ignored.
(And please don’t tell me “yes it will”. I know most things are ignored or not reported)
This is as big as the “spread the wealth comment”

Seems like Biden is telling the truth about no new coals plants, only <$150,000 for individuals will get more tax cuts and Obama is not ready and will be tested with a crisis. It is just because it is different to what Obama says, people call it a gaffe, but it is the truth.
