the EPA’s Utility MACT rule, which could force companies to install expensive technological upgrades to eliminate various pollutants from coal-fired power plants. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has branded the rule as one of the most costly regulations ever imposed on power plants, ....leading to fewer jobs and a boost in consumer energy prices. “The President’s EPA has clearly declared a war on coal — an industry crucial to our economy and Sen.

Coal plants need to be converted to gas. If you live in an area that has one you will understand why. Dirty trash and fly ash comes out of their smokestacks and pollutes everything. A worker there told me he has to decontaminate his car every week that is parked there because of fly ash. There is one about 25 miles east (fortunately) of me that is near a golf course. They need fixed or phased out.

Coal is America’s future, not it’s “past”. Actually, if the left had its way (as they are getting now), ALL forms of fossil-fuel energy would be in America’s “past” — and many of us would be in the dark.

Obama is another President that doesn’t want the U.S.A. to use the coal we have. That being said, he is a PIKER compared to what the Clinton Administration did in regards to coal.
