Obama Tells San Francisco He Will Intentionally Bankrupt The Coal Industry!!!

[Excaliber]

Of course it won't happen for some time, but he's on the right track. Coal has to go, we've got to find alternatives.

And racism. And traffic jams. And global warming. And medicare fraud. And greed. And poverty. And AIDS. And corruption. And incompetence. And...........................shall I go on?

Be serious, please. Espousing the elimination of a principle energy source - without offering up a viable, pragmatic alternative - is just plain chickensh*t. Might as well tell us we can all flap our arms and fly - carries the same message.

And talking about it is equally chickensh*t - remember the gas lines of the 70's? All the talking heads were foaming at the mouth about equally-vapid alternatives; all talk and utterly no substance. How heart-warming to see that Obama is cut of precisely the same cloth as those morons - indeed, how progressive!

Ah, what the hell. He's gonna make everything else right, how could I have doubts about him on such a simple subject as this?

100% Right.

The FIRST gas "shortage was in the early 70's [72, 73?]. I was driving a 70 Hemi Cuda then and using a full tank of gas EACH DAY. When they rationed gas, even number tags on even days, odd on odd, I had to leave my car at a station many blocks away from home. [he would fill it after hours]. EVERY politician since then has declared that we must get off foreign oil dependence. 35 years and they are still saying the same and still NOTHING has happened. McCain says do everything, nuke plants, coal, off shore drilling. Doesn't mean he will do squat, but BO says DON'T do ANYTHING that might not be 200% green. But DO tax the hell out of oil companies for their EXCESS profits. What excess profits? The oil companies are grossing around 10%. Yes, they bank BILLIONS, but its not excess profits, its a reasonable percentage, but the business volume in in multi-billions so the lying polos call it EXCESS. And I kinda think that the companies that BO wants to tax viciously are the same ones that have to build more refineries and off shore drill platforms and do research to clean gas and diesel emissions. Does he do another BAILOUT when they are out of money?
McCain may or may not do a damn thing about energy, but the Obamination's "plan" is utter nonsense.
