Now if the Republicans can run a candidate with a political BRAIN against Munchkin, perhaps we can win this seat once and for all.
This is Munchkin’s president - we need to tie Obama AROUND HIS NECK.
Didn’t West Virginia vote for Obama? Didn’t he tell them the coal plants were on his hit list?
Americans are running out of coal powered energy plants and should be running out of patience with Obama.
Another terror attack against the US economy in the guise of environmental protection.
He promised in his 2008 campaign to close all the coal mines. Of course, the mine union’s UMWA site home page endorsed him. Boggles the mind.
That’s right - rip out all the coal plants in the East and hydropower dams in the West. Fund failed solar operations and windmills that go idle as they are too inefficient and costly to operate. (Ingnore the fact that dam removal dumps a century of polluted sediment on top of salmon streams and wind mills kill birds of prey along the Pacific flyway.)
Anybody else getting a true picture of the Administration’s “green” energy agenda? I think it has more to do with breaking the middle class through its pocket book than anything else.
The Games Obama Plays.
I don’t claim to be an expert on power grids, but 660 megawatts sounds like a lot of juice to be missing during peak demand times. Especially so when summertime rolls around...
Heckuva job there, Barry. Heckuva job.
Ppl keep saying Please stop destroying our country. Please stop. And O just laughs and goes to his next plan. Please stop Pres. O. And why aren’t our pleas working? Don’t your hear us.
Look what you are doing to us. I’m sure you don’t realize you are hurting us. Please stop. LOL We need a warrior or General to save us now. Gingrich
Three coal-powered plants in exchange for Solyndra, Ener1, EnerDel and, of course, Volt.
FirstEnergy closing 6 coal-fired power plants

The new standards are designed to reduce emissions of mercury and other toxic pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants. An Associated Press survey found that the changes were likely to bring the mothballing of dozens of units in the Midwest and in the coal belt — Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia.
The Obama administration was under court order to issue a new rule, after a court threw out an attempt by the Bush administration to exempt power plants from controls for toxic air pollution.
FirstEnergy said its decision would directly affect 529 employees. Some of them could end up transferring to other FirstEnergy facilities and work sites, while others could take advantage of a retirement benefit being offered to employees 55 years and older, the company said.
File this under “News You Won’t Be Seeing On MSNBC/NBC/NPR”
That file is getting pretty damn big now.
Dozens of Coal Plants are shutting down due to to EPA regs and compliance costs. Dozens and dozens of coal mines are laying off thousands of workers, many union.
Railcar loadings are WAY down, and even that is being hidden by soaring loadings for the evil, lib-hated fracking sand.
The United Mine Workers voted for Economic Suicide for supporting Obama, and that needs to be driven like a spike in to the heads of coal state residents in PA, WVA, Montana, Colorado, the Carolinas, and KY.
Democratic Party scumbags putting West Virginians out of work, making electricity more expensive, and destroying the economy.
Obama and his crew must really really hate America.
How will the MSM spin this into a positive for Obama and how will Obama blame Republicans when people start freezing to death in the winter and suffering heat stroke in the summer?
So how do we recharge our $280,000+ Chevy Volts?
Great news, Coal unions voted and supported Obama, let them reap the harvest they have sown.
How much of Washington, DC’s power is provided by these plants? I think that a “blackout” or at least a “brownout” of DC is in order.
FirstEnergy closing 6 coal-fired power plants (Ohio)
http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/ohio-news/firstenergy-closing-6-coal-fired-power-plants-1318908.html
FirstEnergy Corp. said Thursday that new environmental regulations led to a decision to shut down six older, coal-fired power plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland
So...tally is running at 9 so far....Ohio, Pa, Maryland and now WV....
I think it’s time for American business to ignore anything coming from the EPA and the federal government and dare them to stop’em.
West Virginia will still probably go to the Democrats
