How much did that oil baron, Pickton, pay Obama to do this?
At least, I think that’s his name.
When the Japanese evacuate their radio active homeland...
The hole in Mr. Trzupek’s logic is that there are also enviro-nuts who are against fracking for natural gas. Once the coal industry is dead & buried (to accommodate Obama’s wishes), the wackos will just move on to their next crusade to destroy an energy source.
This is step one. The next step will be to reduce emissions so natural gas does not fit as well. Then all power plants would then have to be generated using windmills and sun panels. Bank on it.
This should be no surprise to the West Virginia assholes that voted for Obama in 2008. The idiots.

At today’s demand and allowing for normal increases over 100 years.
Turning the electrical generation industry and the long-haul trucking industry to NG is not provided for in the estimation above.
He's former president of the UMWA?
I guess the SOBs their coming to get are the miners.
Recall: during the campaign in '08, 0bama said he was going to kill the coal industry, yet Pennsylvania went for this commie. If those that will be losing jobs, etc. due to the usurper are seeking sympathy, I suggest talking to your union bosses, because there is none here.
Well, probably not Illinois.

First the coal plant, next your wood stove, and we will all die from cold related starvation.
Obama did say before he was elected that he hoped to bankrupt the coal industry, and that energy prices under my administration “would necessarily skyrocket”. Obama’s words verbatum. You can even see the video of Obama saying this on Youtube. Now, how does a guy who probably knows nothing about coal industry or coal, come to despise them so much that he hopes to bankupt them, forcing tens of thousands into unemployment, making it more difficult and expensive for the average consumer to heat their homes? Answer: He is paying back his big environmentalist extremist donors who in turn, got most of their cash from Dr. Evil, George Soros. So in effect, George Soros is now controlling federal energy policy by putting whole energy industries out of business and this will eventually worsen and deepen the nation’s unemployment picture. Oh wait, I almost forgot in 20 years or so we will all heat and power our homes and run our cars with algae and solar and wind and biodegradable trash. I just can’t wait for that day — so exciting! In the meantime all we have to do is begin to save lots of our income (if we even have a job) to pay off that monthly home electric bill that will soon average about $600, because Obama thinks it’s better to bankrupt the coal industry than for Americans to have access to cheap energy. What in blazes were the American people thinking when they put this nincompoop in the White House??? I mean, Bush certainly wasn’t the greatest, but this guy is a complete disaster for anything that is good or valuble in America. Vote him the f**k out of there already!
District Judge Amy Jackson Friday said the Environmental Protection Agency overstepped its authority in the retroactive veto of a permit for the Spruce No. 1 Coal mine in West Virginia. The decision states the EPA’s veto of the Spruce Mine permit was ‘unprecedented’ and it acted in a manner that was ‘arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with law.
Get him out of here or we will be sitting in the dark and cold.
These are the same people who will claim that incandescent lights haven’t been banned. Oh no. They just passed efficiency rules that, under the laws of physics, no incandescent light can ever meet. But they’re not banned.
Hey, West Virginia...
How yinz likin’ yer Joe Manchin vote now???
I repeat:
The following states should secede from the current count of 50 and form The Western States of America:
Arizona
New Mexico
Texas
Oklahoma
Missouri
Kansas
Nebraska
S Dakota
N Dakota
Montana
Wyoming
Idaho
Colorado
Utah
Nevada
& possible Alaska.
Then they can use the resources they have, with no interference from the EPA. They have enough people to guard their borders. They can grow enough food & mine coal, gold, silver, copper, etc as needed. They can pipe it to refineries in Texas as they need.
I propose that Sheriff Joe Arpaio become the first head of true SECURITY for these states.
