Is Obama's EPA Trying to Destroy the Coal Industry? (gasoline, death, Barack Obama)

[Dockside]

And in the process, it's going to cost you more. It's nice to see Obama is so focused on creating jobs for our beleaguered country.

From US News - Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.

Things like safety regulations for miners might be a good idea. What do you think?
How about not polluting the environment?

No surprise, Obama came out and stated such while campaigning:

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted-Barack Obama

If we all choke to death from particulate pollution, we won't need those jobs anyway.

This article points out some contradiction in the Obama administration. One one hand the Obama pushes electric automobiles for transportation, and on the other cripples the very industry that will be have to provide the electricity to charge the electric automobile batteries.

.........Obama already called for a 15% reduction in demand for electricity — at the same time he and his allies want transportation to switch from gasoline to electricity. Obama never explained this particular contradiction. How does one switch tens of millions of vehicles from gasoline to electricity while not Increasing demand, let alone by cutting it 15%? And when trying to break free from a recession, the nation will need greater production in energy, not a reduction.

How about sitting in the dark then? Or possibly using your glowing children as lamps, you could do that.

This is liberal zombie talk.

How long has coal been around?

Has there been a mass epidemic of people choking to death during the time frame that coal has been used for energy purposes?

Snap out of it.

The unexplained contradiction that marks the Obama administration speaks to the great orator's failure as a communicator and suggests he is conducting nefarious business that requires a covert strategy.

This leads one to the conclusion that the effect of being stunned by actions that make no logical sense are coincidentally useful to deflect consideration of where Obama is trying to drag us.

Obama is a man of low moral character and nefarious intent. He has weighed his options and concluded America must suffer in order to bring them salvation.
