When you look at the facts it is undeniable that the Obama Administration has declared war on the coal industry. This is an industry that is based on our Nation’s most abundant natural resource for energy; America is the “OPEC of coal” as you put it.
In addition to providing the country almost half of its power, the coal industry also provides our country with 1.5 million stable, long term and much needed jobs. The Obama administration has chosen and deployed its weapons for the attack; including the EPA, the Bureau of Land Management, national and local environmental groups of activists and attorneys all of which serve to “shock and awe” the coal industry. These government and environmental groups allied with the President are staging protests and filing lawsuits with local Governments where coal companies have requested permits to build coal export facilities or new coal mines. The Federal Government indirectly pays for many of these legal bills through reimbursements to the activist organizations of legal expenses.
The Obama administration has declared war on the coal industry with hopes to please their Global Warming donor base. However, the global coal industry, which America is just now beginning to supply, is having substantial growth. American Coal producers are developing higher paying customers in more regulatory friendly nations that are not drinking the global warming cool-aid. Someday, when Americans are paying much more (maybe 500%) for their power, a new solution may be able to repair and rebuild what has been destroyed in the war “the American consumer”.
Nigeria is chock full of coal. You can be they'd do well if they were able to exploit it. Liberals will block it because they have a burning hatred for Africa and wish to see her impoverished.
"please his obsolete global warming base"? It SEEMS like English. Am I right in assuming you are under the delusion that we've already reversed global climate change?

Trying to deny the established fact of global warming just makes you look like an idiot.
Posing the argument that we're economically bound to coal as an energy source for the
present, and how long we must tolerate that situation makes more sense.
Temperatures ARE rising.
So are sea levels.
Climate IS changing.
Atmospheric carbon from fossil fuel use IS at least a large part of the cause.
We DO need to deal with it.
Yeah, global warming is so obsolete a denier funded study recently found it's actually happening.
Oh wait, that says the opposite.
Nigeria is chock full of coal. You can be they'd do well if they were able to exploit it. Liberals will block it because they have a burning hatred for Africa and wish to see her impoverished.

Abotu what are you babbling?

OPEC is a cartel.
America is a country.
Typical Yahoo right winger: "it snowed last week here in Montana; that's proof that global warming doesn't exist!"
