The USA is on the verge of electing a Totalitarian.

Control electricity and you control the entire economy.

Even up here in Canada we rejected the socialist Liberal party and their cap and trade aka carbon tax scheme.

Biden claimed he didn’t mean or say what he said about having “no coal plants in America” during the VP debate.

No nukes, no fossil fuels, no wind (where Teddy has to look at the windmills), no dams, no nothing. What is the DNC/leftist solution? They don’t have one except their own hot air.

This is the sort of doctrinaire theorizing that leads to stagnation and economic collapse.

Keep it up ObamaBiden, you are doing a great job of alienating everyone but only the most rabid of the Greenie looney leftists. Take our money, and say youll give it to those who wont lift a finger to support themselves. Take our coal, electric, our energy sources because you know best.

Keep shooting yourself in both feet, and we will laugh as you fall on your face.

Looks like the Appalachian areas will be put back into poverty under Obama. They're fools if they vote for him.

Coal v. wind: Energy fight rages in W.Va.

Associated Press - October 25, 2008 2:45 PM ET

DOROTHY, W.Va. (AP) - On the Coal River Mountain in southern West Virginia, a battle of epic proportions is playing out.

Massey Energy has permits to blast 6,000 acres for a mountaintop removal mining site and is just waiting for federal approvals. But anti-mining activists and people who support clean, renewable energy want to put windmills there instead.

Coal River Mountain Watch says it’s a perfect time and place for a wind farm. Massey says that if it didn’t strip mine, a lot of coal would be squandered.

The West Virginia Coal Association says it’s not sure if the wind farm is a bona fide proposal or just a plan aimed at stopping mountaintop mining.

Residents are divided, too. In the southern coalfields, there are mainly three kinds of jobs: mining, logging and minimum-wage.

Mining is a way of life, and some say coal has done more harm than good.

Joyce Gunnoe, a Dry Creek storekeeper, says blasting means men are making a living.

But Rock Creek resident Lorelei (lor ELL uh) Scarbro, whose lives below Massey’s blasting site, says her way of life shouldn’t be sacrificed so others can have more electricity.

That's true. Some of the Appalachian areas have no other profitable industry and the miners have no other skills.

They go underground every day under dangerous conditions to bring this country electricity so that we can blog and watch TV.

Obama is dangerously naieve. In a time when we desperately need to maximize our own plentiful energy sources, Obama would bankrupt coal so that we have to buy even more overpriced Arab oil to keep the lights on. Obama's environmental greenies could care less if we keep the lights on...except for themselves, of course. Another bottle of organic Chardonnay, please.

Although there were around 1,400 coal mining operations in 26 States in 2005, over two-thirds of all coal mines, and about half of all mine employees, were located in just three States—Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, according to the Energy Information Administration. Other States employing large numbers of coal miners are Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, and Wyoming. Metal mining is more prevalent in the West and Southwest, particularly in Arizona, Nevada, and Montana, and iron ore mining in Minnesota and Michigan.

I am posting my same thoughts to these coal threads:

When you destroy energy, you destroy the economy. You spread the poverty to secure the power and make everyone dependent on the government and Papa Dictator’s benevolence.

Obama’s plan will do to energy what Mugabe did to farming. Intentional impoverishment. It is the fast lane path to making a first-world national a third world country and taking away then redistributing rights selectively, ala Chavez in Venezuela.

I didn’t know there was so much black gold under Iowa and Illinois. Investment possibilities.

Solidly anti-McCain. No mention of Obama’s comments.
