Obama wants to get rid of coal anyway, that's the plan.

“Under my cap and trade plan electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.” “If somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted"

And he didn't even need cap & trade to do it. Mission accomplished.

1,200 workers

That's 1200 middle class incomes.

To be replaced by the dole, or Wal Marx minimum wage greeter jobs.

Just another day in Amerika.

Meanwhile, we still send all our money to the middle east for oil--a middle east that, rumor suggests, may be running out of the stuff.

But ExxonMobil and BP don't own the administration. Perish the thought.
