I have always believed that global warming is a gigantic scam, driven by greed and lust for power. Now comes the shocking news, via Steve Milloy writing on Breitbart, that following President Obama’s use of CO2 emissions as a weapon to drive major coal companies near bankruptcy, the ultimate politically connected speculator George Soros is buying up stock in major coal producers on the cheap.
I predicted in this column last week that the left wasn’t going to kill off the coal industry so much as it was going to steal it. That prediction is already becoming true courtesy of billionaire George Soros.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Act filings indicate that Soros has purchased an initial 1 million shares of Peabody Energy and 553,200 shares of Arch Coal, the two largest publicly traded U.S. coal companies. As pointed out last week, both companies have been driven perilously close to bankruptcy by the combination of President Obama’s “war on coal” and inexpensive natural gas brought on by the hydrofracturing revolution.
Under the hypothesis that not even socialists would leave trillions of dollars worth of a perfectly safe and clean energy source in the ground for the sake of the imaginary “climate crisis,” I posited that once the existing coal industry ownership was wiped out by President Obama’s regulatory onslaught, a new politically correct ownership would rehabilitate the fuel by contributing to Democrats.
Enter George Soros, a hardball investor and philanthropist to myriad left-wing causes, including the activist and “clean energy” rent-seeking movements that have helped take down the coal industry. In 2009, for example, Soros announced he would spend $1 billion in “clean energy” technology and create a San Francisco-based advocacy organization called the Climate Policy Initiative.

Yeah if he can’t lick the conservatives, profit from them.
Soros will owe Obama a billion+ when O leaves office. Will Soros pay him ?
LOL
Bump!
I agree with you. Soros isn’t a dummy. He knows how to make money.
to compare soros vs. trump could get pretty deep, but in a nut shell I’d describe trump as a risk taking businessman while I would consider soros a criminal.
when you have time dig a little deeper into soros connections to the company who counts US presidential election votes.
it’s been a while since I saw it posted, but I think there is a spanish company that is in charge of the computer count for our elections, and.....soros owns that company.
that’s probably when got obama elected more so than the number of people that voted for him.
It’s all a coincidence! /sheeple
And what is Der Fuhrer’s cut?
I'm sure Mooch wil find it difficult, though, living on their money instead of ours.
WTH?!!!!
BTTT
Wonder if Trump knows about that. I remember that thread, too.
When you own half the politicians?
The Good Intentions Crew is paving away! Nevermind the destination!

Wow! Obama drives down coal company stocks, and Soros buys them on the cheap
Thanks, Brown Deer.
.
Thank you for the ping.
The people who are “in charge” in Washington aren’t actually in charge.
Obviously, everything that happens is an underhanded way to destroy the
USA and every Conservative and Christian in it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time.
I figure Soros will owe Obama somewhere between 250-500 million in “commissions” when Obama leaves office.
