First of all "Light:", I didn't "leave it out". I gave you the link to read it ALL.

Why? Because we are not allowed to quote too much of a content due to copyright infringements.

Second of all, I mentioned the important facts

“The president’s extreme policies are crippling entire towns and making it harder for workers to find jobs,” Capito, co-founder of the Congressional Coal Caucus, said in a written statement. "Because of the president's War on Coal, thousands of West Virginia families have to worry about where their next paycheck is going to come from."

Now, compare the quote you offered to the above

"Crutchfield the CEO of Alpha called it "a difficult day," but said the shutdowns and layoffs are a necessary part of ensuring Alpha survives in what has become a difficult U.S. market, where coal companies face a dual challenge: Power plants are shifting to cheap, abundant natural gas, while companies like his face "a regulatory environment that's aggressively aimed at constraining the use of coal. "

A later quote also noted that if someone wanted to build a COAL BURNING plant, they can, but it will BANKRUPT them.

And this "But she said the Environmental Protection Agency’s “extreme rules and regulations played a major role.”

Now why is that? When an industry get's heavily REGULATED, prices go up. Coal get's more and more expensive. Coal burning plants have to pay more and deal with regulatory FINES.

These are the result of Obama's policies

Light - how about defending this BHO policy?

In another clip from the same January 2008 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in which Barack Obama promised to bankrupt anyone foolish enough to build coal-burning power plants, he also made an interesting admission about his entire energy plan. Obama told the editors that his policies would make energy prices “skyrocket” as the energy industry passed along the exorbitant costs of his cap-and-trade policy:

Here is your link to the actual interview.

He also said he had no problem with 4-5 dollar gas prices. I pointed this out with Californian democrats. They do not care about the poor.

They want the poor to believe they are for them. They hold out the "carrot" and poor ppl follow it. But their policies hurt the poor. They care more about their green agenda than jobs. The main reason is money/support from those in that industry.

High gas prices hurt the poor more than the rich. Politicians don't pay for their gas. They don't have to pay for expensive hybrids.

They want poor people taking public transportation. Here in CA, they care about public unions not the poor. They want to increase sales tax and we already have the highest in the nation. Now they made it so poo people buying stuff online have to pay sales tax. We have the highest gas price already too
