I can’t get the page to come up, but why is coal consumption down? Seems like it all goes for power generation, which has been declining somewhat but not that much.

Remember when Obama said "I'm going to bankrupt the coal and electricity companies"

Well...he did it

The largest pillar of the coal industry has now fallen. In filing for bankruptcy last week, Peabody Energy joined Arch Coal, Patriot Coal, Walter Energy and Alpha Natural Resources among the largest coal mining companies recently facing this fate.

Here is Obama at the gym....practicing the arduous "bench lift"

So he can "turn over every stone"...in his mission to create jobs.

You can add energy companies Linn Energy and Penn Virginia to the list as well, they just announced Chapter 11.
