They are not permitting additional coal fired plants, using EPA restrictions, in spite of not passing cap and trade.

Some were approved in the early part of his term, but we have a clear view of the end of that era.

If you somehow believe Nat Gas won’t suffer the same fate, under Obama, you are deluded.

The link I posted in #30 includes new coal fired power plants. Here it is again:

While they are making it more difficult and more expensive, new power plants fueled by Natural Gas and Coal are continuing to be permitted and put into service.

You are simply uninformed.

Through the first 11 months of 2013, about 6,568 MW of natural gas-fueled generating capacity has been installed, according to the latest infrastructure update from FERC. By contrast, only 1,543 MW of new coal generating capacity was installed during the first 11 months of the year.
