There is nothing misleading about posting a video of Obama stating that any utility that chooses to build a coal-fired power plant will go bankrupt. There is also nothing misleading about showing Obama stating that cap and trade legislation will "necessarily" cause electric bills to "skyrocket."

These two positions, taken together paint a dire picture for the coal industry, particularly since the Obama administration has pulled nearly 80 surface mining permit applications from consideration and is threatening to revoke permits that have already been issued.

Obama is the biggest threat against the coal industry and capitalism in general - ever. He is making Jimmy Carter look like a greedy capitalist pig.

Does the global warming debate strike anyone else as resembling the whole smoking causes cancer debate? Science established it... other "science" disputed it vehemently for years upon years.... until, in reality, it couldn't be disputed any longer. Why? Vested interest. Money. The pain of truth. The discomfort of change. Here's a question for you, hootgibson: if you thought that carbon emissions did lead to global warming (not saying you do, but if you did), would you be for weaning ourselves as a society and world, off of coal and onto alternative forms of energy?
