I can't sympathize with the coal miners...obama was really, really clear on where he stood on the coal industry...the coal miners simply didn't listen because "Republican Bad...democrat good." and so they all voted for the guy about to destroy their jobs and their ability to take care of their families...welcome to the party guys...some of this actually knew what this guy was about the first time around...you should have listened...
Coal Miners Union In Full Revolt After Supporting Obama In 2008 | The Daily Caller - Part 2
Although it is fun to watch liberal pressure groups go at each other...unions vs. greens...I would get a bag of chips...but it is going to be cold this winter, and energy prices..as obama said in 2008, are going to sky rocket under his policies...I have to save my pennies...
Soooo, I wonder how much energy solar and wind can actually generate...because they are trying to shut down the only reliable methods of generating electricity...coal, oil, natural gas...for energy sources that don't work, won't work for a long time if ever...and yet, people in cold states will still need heat in the middle of January...
Coal Miners Union In Full Revolt After Supporting Obama In 2008 | The Daily Caller - Part 2
It’s unlikely that United Mine Workers of America president Cecil Roberts thought he would be arrested protesting the energy policies of the very politician his union supported in 2008. But things have come full circle for coal miners, who now see President Obama’s climate agenda threatening their livelihoods.
Roberts and other UMWA members were arrested Thursday marching through Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, towards the federal building the Environmental Protection Agency was holding field hearings for a new rule that could very well force more coal mines and plants to shut down.

In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he stated his energy plan would “bankrupt” coal plant owners, adding that “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” under his cap-and-trade system.
“So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted,” Obama told the SF Chronicle.
“Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket, regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I’m capping greenhouse gases,” Obama added. “Coal power plants, natural gas, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money onto consumers.”
