Stocks plunge as investors ponder Obama presidency A case of post-election nerves has sent stocks plunging as investors, again anxious about a recession, are wondering what impact a Barack Obama presidency will have on business and the overall economy

There's not much "wonder" about it. He's promised to bankrupt the coal industry. He's promised to increase taxes on business. He's promised to increase government spending.

He's promised to bankrupt the coal industry.

I work at a coal mining company. When Obama's plan was let out of the bag, the typical reply was:

"You're going to need a lot of windmills to replace that 49%".

Coal is the source of 49% of the nation's electricity.

Our other projects are full speed ahead!
