The OhioAmerican Energy company announced it would close its coal mine near Brilliant, Ohio on Tuesday. There is no question whatsoever about the reason for the shutdown, because the company made it abundantly clear in their press release, which I am reproducing in full below. President Obama will be campaigning in Ohio on Wednesday; perhaps someone will present him with a copy of this letter and ask for his thoughts.

OhioAmerican Energy, Inc. (OhioAmerican), a Subsidiary of Murray Energy Corporation (Murray Energy), today announced the closure of its coal mining operations near Brilliant, Jefferson County, Ohio.
Regulatory actions by President Barack Obama and his appointees and followers were cited as the entire reason. Mr. Obama has already destroyed 83,000 megawatts of coal-fired electricity generation in America, said Mr. Michael T. W. Carey, Vice President of Government Affairs for Murray Energy. Electric prices in the recent PJM Interconnection monthly auction were bid up 800 percent (8 times) for 2015-2016 because of this, he added.

Reminds me of that video, “If I wanted to destroy America...”
Can you guess who the United Mine Workers backed during the last election?
The green movement definitely cost Gore the White House (costing him West Virgina & Tennessee - either of which would have put him over the top regardless of Florida). It literally cost him his HOME STATE, and therefore the election.
The fox and the scorpion.
And just think Ohioans are gonna vote for this POS the so called poles have Obama up by 8 points i think i read ! what a bunch of Idiot Ohioans i live with sheesh ....

Not even the unions are immune now from getting stabbed in the back by obama, except for government union employees. The private sector unions have served their purpose, and will be discarded accordingly. Public secor unions should be banned outright.
OMG... OOOObama MMMMust GGGGo
I heard a poll coming from .....................NBC that said zero is up by 2.8% here in Ohio.
Ohio is going GOP this year!
And yet the Democrat governor and US Senators still support obamma 100%.
************************
Gov. Kasich is a Republican and does not support Obama.
Guess they won’t be voting for Obummer!
My mistake! I do not know why, but for some reason I was thinking this was happening in West Virginia? I must be losing my marbles?
Brilliant sits along the Ohio River, so West Virginia is only a couple of hundred yards away.
