The only lie that Obama did not say was he was going to shut down coal.

I guess the majority did not get the memo or were in agreement.

[Paladin2]

Build more Nuke power Plants and pronto.

[joshua c]

Good for them on the boycott. I would like to see more of that.

[Veggie Todd]

Yep. IIRC, Candidate Obama said he was going to tax them out of business.

[dware]

I emailed New Belgium brewing regarding their ignorant support of the commies. Here is their response:

Thanks for taking the time to reach out regarding our funding of WildEarth Guardians. We absolutely recognize that coal makes up a great deal of our own power mix here at the brewery (in our case it comes from the PRPA Rawhide plant northeast of Fort Collins). As a consumer of fossil fuels, we believe we have the responsibility to minimize our consumption, and also work with partners who advocate for the best energy solutions for our communities here in Colorado. In this specific case, however, our funding dollars were specifically allocated for healthy watershed projects in Colorado & New Mexico, and no money was given to overturn mining operations. Below please find our public statement on the issue which I hope might address some of your concerns:

At New Belgium Brewing, we support non-profit partners who advocate for healthy watersheds. WildEarth Guardians first contacted New Belgium in 2008 seeking grant money for restoration projects along the Colorado River. We supported these efforts because Colorado businesses, residents and the environment are dependent upon sound water management.

Specific to any work WildEarth Guardians has done regarding the ColoWyo and Trapper mines, we were unaware of it at the time and that is outside the scope of our grant allocations. In this case, our funding dollars were allocated for healthy watershed projects only, and no money was given to overturn mining operations. Additionally, we have never granted operational funds to Wild Earth Guardians and we have no future funding plans at this time.

I really do appreciate hearing feedback, both positive and negative. Public comments are always welcome and will be considered when we review future funding opportunities with non-profit partners. Please know that we take public comments to heart and we will make sure your thoughts are considered as we look toward future funding opportunities. We'd hate to lose you as a beer drinker, and please do let me know if there's anything else I can do to help clarify the situation.

obama promised he’d destroy the coal industry.

See? he does keep some campaign promises!

[RightOnTheBorder]

Lets see if I get this right. Dept. of interior issues a permit 10 years ago, which causes investors to risk millions of dollars to build mines which positively affect the lives of tens of thousands of people by creating jobs and fuel for a power plant. Fast forward 10 years and some eco terrorists find an Obama appointed judge to rescind the permit and the only protection these tens of thousands of people have is the Dept. of interior, IF it decides to act on their behalf, can challenge this judges ruling?

If ever there was a case for giving federal scum the finger and going on with business as usual this is it.

[GraceG]

Why can’t the town of Craig just declare those federal regulations null and void, I mean if Denver can declare they won;t enforce immigration laws, then why can’t Craig do it too...

[kaehurowing]

With Democrats in charge?

Good luck.

[CodeToad]

If Denver can illegally declare itself an illegal alien sanctuary city, Craig can too! Call itself the Coal Sanctuary.

Obunghole will not send marshals with assault rifles to uphold the law in Denver...He will send them to ColoWyo, however

They might want to familiarize themselves with the word 'fungible.'

[Hojczyk]

It is over there done… I think the just closed another coal fired plant in Ohio and closed a coal mine there..We are worse off now than in 1700s…back then they just ignored King James for the most part..I hate to say it but I think Trump is our last hope…Cruz maybe smarter but Trump will be the bull in the ring if he gets mad..

NOT ONE WORD! NOT ONE WORD! GO BACK TO YOUR FREE PHONE AND RANT AND RAVE..NOT TO ME.

I live in a CO community that stopped uranium exploration for the sake of "property values," tourism, keeping the riff-raff out, etc. Planning and building regulations in the middle of nowhere, CO, are much like those of the northeastern states that most of the people have come to CO from over the past few decades. Behold the real constituents in the shadows behind the environmentalists and animal worshipers.

Scott Walker is the only candidate with a real record of cutting the big government spending that enables the anti-competition, anti-production political class to dominate in politics, business and academia.

[Osage Orange]

Why doesn’t the town of Craig...declare themselves a Sanctuary City?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

The Obama regime doesn’t give a damn about miners, even if they are registered Democrats. They can always go on unemployment and become welfare addicts to the Dems.

Unless a miracle occurs (and Obama doesn’t like miracles), this mine and the miners are toast.

OBAMA: YES I DID!
