So have you gotten your hope and change that Obama promised you????

Coal is going out of business due to cheap natural gas. I helped convert 12 coal fired steam plants to natural gas just in the last year or 2 before I retired. Coal is not that expensive. It's the expense of the residue and environmental damage from coal that is putting coal under. Coal should be a last resort, not a first one. Some estimates place our natural gas reserves at over 200 years and new reserves are coming on board every day. Some scientists say that natural gas can be obtained from everyday air that we breath all the time. Nicolai Tesla claimed that electricity can be harvested the same way. The future holds many surprises for us. That's why I am a political and scientific progressive. The old shit ain't working out so well anymore.

Coal in some states is also easier to mine, unfortunately, W. Virginian coal is expensive to mine, thus making it more expensive then natural gas
 
Coal is rapidly becoming the true dinosaur of the energy industries. Nothing good can be said about it anymore. Alternatives are becoming so cheap and available that coal has simply outlived it's usefulness in the world of 2016. It's understandable that those whose livelihoods are threatened with new technology but it is what it is. I learned many years ago to deal with what I had, not what I wish I had. Progressive changes in energy resources are upon us. Deal with THAT truth and make decisions regarding that fact.
 
Liberals are such idiots. I no longer try to educate the uneducable. I only mock them and hope that they and their families suffer from their brain dead policies.
 
America and the world is a flame after 8 years of Obama and his failed/weak style of leadership.

Cops are being assassinated and he does/says nothing. Sad day.
