Great graphic.

I thought it was because the old school Santa Claus used to put coal in the stockings of those illegal aliens who were bad and broke into America through the back door instead of doing it the way honest, normal people do it. Through the front door.

They hate a lot of black things. Coal, Oil, Guns, Clarence Thomas.....

70% of rail traffic is bulk material most of it is coal used in generating electricity.

Democrats are tired of receiving it in their Christmas Holiday stockings.

The REAL reason? The private sector controls the coal industry and consists of conservatives. The 'green' industry is heavily government-operated progressives. Green projects like Solyndra was a money-laundering operation for the Democrat party.

Coal is the recycling of tax payer dollars into the Capitalists. Green industry is the recycling of tax payer dollars into the Democrat party hacks.

Millions more people will lose their jobs, and turn to the government to supply them subsistence crumbs. It’s THAT simple. Bob

[Secret Agent Man]

we have a lot of it, it’s cheap, most energy plants are set to run on it, and now most plants scrub out all the objectionables.

they hate it because it gives free people energy to prosper and stay alive. they must control it to control us.

Why do they hate coal? It’s simple, really.

1)It’s something we have a lot of, that can be used for generating power, which is good for our nation.

2)Since it’s something we have a lot of and it’s good for our nation so we don’t have to suck up and pay scads of money to nations that don’t like us, they hate it.

Ergo, if it’s good for America, they hate it. QED.

Coal is broken. The climate is broken! Electrical energy is broken. US energy policy is broken. Peak oil is broken.

We need the government to step in and fix it. See the tag line.

DIMocRATs hate you. That’s why they hate coal. They couldn’t convince your parents to abort you...so you must suffer. But don’t worry they will prematurely murder you by denying you health care when your older.

West Virginia and Kentucky are big Democrat states...however, lately GOP has had some success there...I wonder if those states go total GOP...I would say conservative - but that’s hoping too much!

[Standing Wolf]

There's a shortage of shortages, especially of North American energy, so leftist extremists are politicking day and night to create them.

Who said the vermin aren't industrious?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They hate cheap energy because cheap energy equals prosperity for everyone.

They want the peasants to be dirt poor and starving, so they want to make energy as expensive as possible.

[The Great RJ]

It’s all about control...the liberal elites will soon be telling us where to set out thermostats so we are all sweltering or shivering in our darkened homes to “save the earth”. Of course liberal elites like Al Gore will use more energy in a month than a subdivision of homes.
