Obama Deathblow to Coal

EPA "Regulates" The Death of Coal
We all know that President Obama HATES coal even though 46% of our electrical power comes from coal-fired plants. This year alone, the new regulations forced the closing of 13 coal plants making Obama a happy camper.

The Attacks Continue
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), being directed by Czar Cass Sustein (the Regulatory Czar), is issuing a new regulation that limits carbon dioxide emissions even more than before. This regulation is so bad that it will NOT allow the construction of ANY more coal plants in the United States.

Ask yourself, why are they doing this? We have other means of generating electricity, but we have the world's largest coal reserves. Wouldn't it make sense to utilize energy sources that we have readily available? Get the new plants to provide the latest scrubbers to provide the cleanest air possible. DUH?

What Does All This Mean?
Unless these new regulations are halted, it is estimated that between 50,000 to 80,000 megawatts of coal fired power will be forced to close in the next few years. Meanwhile, China, and India will continue building coal generated electrical power plants.

Does that make any LOGICAL SENSE at all?

Why is Obama abandoning our cheapest and most reliable, and abundant resource for electrical power? Coal can be used to help the United States become less dependent on OIL! DUH?

Action To Take
Let Congress know that the EPA has got to stop their insanity of regulations. If not, we face severe electrical outages and astronomical electrical costs - all because of Obama's energy policies.
