Obama war on coal is just another step in his agenda to crush the economy of the country. First it was the off shore drilling, nuclear sites are out of bounds and now coal is in violation of 'clean are act'. So, jobs lost and energy prices will "necessarily skyrocket" for everyone. Where in the scenario does 'we the people' come into play?
Who voted for this guy? Please stand up and tell us all! Be proud of your decision.
Think about this - one person has the power to destroy our entire economy, and it's not just the president. The EPA? The DNR? The Interior Secretary? An appointed czar? This is crazy!
Obama's War on Coal

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has revoked the coal mining permit for Arch Coal's Spruce Mine -- No. 1 in West Virginia's Logan County. The EPA said it was acting under the authority of the Clean Water Act, saying the mine employed "destructive and unsustainable mining practices that jeopardize the health of Appalachian communities and clean water on which they depend."
But the EPA did not think so four years ago, when a Section 404 permit was issued, suggesting the extent to which this administration has politicized science, says Investor's Business Daily (IBD).
West Virginia is the second-largest coal producer in the United States.
The maligned fossil fuel provides $26 billion for the West Virginia economy annually, supports 60,000 jobs and pays $1.2 billion in wages for West Virginia families.
All this and much more nationally, is in jeopardy since coal provides half of America's electricity.
