Up in Smoke? Will Obama's Remarks Prove Costly in Coal Country?
****************************EXCERPT from article*****************************
Obama made his now controversial comments in a taped interview with the San Francisco Chronicle during January, but the statements did not become public until yesterday. Obama pledged to levy taxes and fines on greenhouse gas emissions that would force coal burning plants to go out of business. The exact
quote attributed to Obama is as follows:
If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, its just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for al lthat greenhouse gas thats being emitted.
