This guy Barak constantly yaps about the MIDDLE CLASS and what he is going to do for them and at the same time

President Obama, Why Are You So Determined To Kill America's Coal Industry?

On Sept. 20 the Obama Administration proposed regulations that would require future coal-fired power plants to deploy currently nonexistent technologies to reduce their CO2 emissions. The President has also directed the Environmental Protection Agency to propose rules next year to reduce CO2 emissions from existing coal fired plants. Coal provides nearly 40 percent of America’s electricity – no small amount – because it is domestic, abundant, affordable and reliable. By putting onerous restrictions on a resource that is such a vital part of the U.S. energy mix and U.S economic prosperity, the President needs to address four fundamental questions about the impact of his proposal – especially since it is being implemented by unelected regulators that are unaccountable to the people of the United States and the Congress.

EPA admits new coal regulations won't reduce global warming

An Environmental Protection Agency proposal designed to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce global warming will actually have no “notable CO2 emission changes.

So a rule that will essentially ban new coal-fired power plants will actually have no impact on global warming. Got it.

“The EPA does not anticipate that this proposed rule will result in notable CO2 emission changes, energy impacts, monetized benefits, costs, or economic impacts by 2022, the EPA writes under the comments section of its proposal.

The EPA also admits that “the owners of newly built electric generating units will likely choose technologies that meet these standards even in the absence of this proposal due to existing economic conditions as normal business practice.

I would like to hear more than sound bites, and read something that is more than the opinion of someone besides the guy trying to protect his outdated industry.

Once Forbes Magazine had credibility. Sadly, that is no longer the case.

Why do we have Obama?

Because the other choices were even worse.

Pity the Coal Miners: A Greener Environment’s Biggest Losers

Not good enough for you? Maybe I could move on to his antagonism towards OIL, a booming industry in spite of Obama and his GREEN$PARTY. Be interesting to see just how many hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars went up in smoke in the desert pursuing solar power.

Actually, it was because he won an election. All things considered can't see how things could be worse. Not like that Obama guy has anything to crow about.

Opinion is not fact. No matter how pretty you dress it up.

Coal is dirty. Simple fact.

Mining it is dirty, shipping it is dirty, and burning it is dirty.

No matter how you burn it, CO2 is going to be released into the atmosphere, because that is what burning carbon fuels is all about.

And nothing the US does alone is going to reduce the overall CO2 emissions planet-wide.

Besides, coal and petroleum will soon prove far too valuable to just burn them up.

So we need to move forward with finding ways to provide energy without using all the stuff up.

As for our relying on Arabian Oil while we have all the coal to burn, That is a long dead argument.

The US is one of the top Oil producers in the world.

Of course, the fact that we are also the world's leading consumer of oil is of no small significance.

At least "this president" is trying to do something about the problem. More than we could say for the other guy, I wager.
