Here's the coal thing :
Obama made clear in the interview that he was not suggesting an end to coal use. Too much of the country already uses it in existing power plants and factories. In a portion of the interview his critics failed to note, he said:
"This notion of no coal, I think, is an illusion, because the fact of the matter is that right now, we are getting a lot of our energy from coal, and China is building a coal-fired plant once a week. So what we have to do then is we have to figure out how can we use coal without emitting greenhouse gases and carbon. And how can we sequester that carbon and capture it? If we can't, then we're going to still be working on alternatives."
But Obama also made clear that he wanted to transition away from building new coal-fired plants, saying that the price on emissions for building one -- using old technology -- would be prohibitive under his plan.
Then why being known as the "smartest" as Historian Michael Beschloss said : "Uh. I would say it’s probably – he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President." Would this economic illiterate make the statement:
"if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”
That is so stupid to tell people that he wants companies to go bankrupt!
You don't say stupid things like that especially the "smartest" president.
He is telling people that he will price them out of business. Rather then figure out a way to keep them in business.... let them go bankrupt!
Did u read the link . He was talking about if someone wanted to build a NEW coal plant . You falsely spin it into obama wants to bankrupt current plants .
