He must have studied Mrs Thatcher, she slaughtered our coal industry twenty years ago. There will be fun when the oil runs out and they have to knock down the executive housing they built over most of the pits to get back in.

Obama could care less about the coal industry, the oil industry, the drug industry...just about every industry in the U.S. What is it going to take to wake people up that this radical guy that no one knows is anti-business..which means..your are out of a job.... Don't worry, you can get the government cheese....

You've never noticed him stutter like that before?

Stuttering is a nervous tic he has... like a lot of people, he tends to stutter a lot whenever he's contradicting himself, or when he's lying outright. It's a fairly common trait.

Look this video and see it for yourself.

I suppose that if McCain had promised to bankrupt an American industry you would be all sunshine and smiles with rainbows shooting out of your backside.

I've always hammered Obama's energy policy, the fact that he's determined to drive the cost of power so high that only the wealthy and the Chinese will be able to afford it.

The poor, the middle class, and American industry?

Not so much.

Obama looked at Michigan and said we need to invest in retooling to meet the demands of a new marketplace demanding new types of cars. We have the infrastructure--we just need to get it back to work.

You know....like Europe and Japan did a few decades back!

Oh, Obama gave them lip service, how nice of him...

Solar panels will be powering the steel mills I suppose.

Read the quote in context. He's talking about reducing carbon emmissions and making it impossible to build conventional coal plants that emit present levels of pollution. That's a lot milder than what should be done to the coal industry.

These are his exact words, which I linked to the audio recording above::

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

You stand corrected.

You're still taking it out of context. This paragraph proceeds the one you're quoting:

quote:

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year

So in context he is talking about pollution control.

Sanity correct me if I'm wrong,but doesn't McCain and the coal industry tout the advances made in trapping those emissions and now claim "clean coal"...and if so wheres the problem.If there are few emissions to tax....all good,right ?
