This was the most horrible choices we've ever had in an election. It was a Lose/Lose situation. Strap yourselves in...It's gonna be a long, bumpy 4 years! (as if the last 8 wasnt bad enough) Bottom line is, McCain nor Obama were ready to lead this country. This was the most horrible choices we’ve ever had in an election. It was a Lose/Lose situation.

All facts, yet I'm the hatemonger/fearmonger for mentioning it. Well at least you didn't call me a racist. I know what clean coal technology is; however, the coal still has to be mined in order for it to be used. Obama's scheme would put miners, engineers, scientists, and builders out of work -- all in the name of political correctness. If weren't for those so-called greedy companies, they wouldn't be able to provide jobs and grow the economy. Do I want coal-powered energy plants to be more efficient with less pollutants? You bet. Do I believe in transitioning to newer fuel technologies to achieve energy independence? Absolutely. However, Going cold turkey by not using domestic oil, coal, natural gas, and shale while developing alternatives AT THE SAME TIME will only worsen our current economic situation and keep us dependent upon energy producing nations that wish us ill. Think about it.

The current Earth changes are not all 'man made', indeed the entire solar system is experiencing temperature fluctuations and science is just getting a hand on the 'electric universe' theory and how it relates to envormental/temperature changes. NoBama could not in any way 'bankrupt' the coal industry because it would require Congress to be behind it and the whores therin would be voted out if they even supported such insanity. Especially considering the 'carbon footprint' of producing ethanol. Besides charging the 'producers' will only force them to pass on the cost to the enduser thus we have yet another 'stealth' tax upon the American people and 'gubmint' including the military will all be exempt and continue to pollute and use massive wasteful amounts of energy. Tax breaks to encourage renewable sources of energy is the way to go, not taxing the current methods out of exisistence. More of the carbon tax fraud.

This simply states that Obama supports "CLEAN COAL" Energy. And those greedy companies that pollute should be fined and taxed. So to summarize, Dirty Coal = BAD, Clean Coal = Good. Bankrupt, like Joe Biden said "Is this a joke?" What’s wrong with you, how is Obama bankrupting the Coal Industry, you are hate/scare mongers.

This is just one of the changes needed. Not overnight, but by transition. Slowly close the door on one dirty, unhealthy industry and start squeeking a fresh new door open. How do you think our nation got to be so powerful? Not by staying with old and outdated ideas. With a continually growing society, we must consider changes, there are no other alternatives if we want to keep living. Life must change. This is just one of the changes needed.
