EAST CARBON, Carbon County A Utah coal company owned by a vocal critic of President Barack Obama has laid off 102 miners.
The layoffs at the West Ridge Mine are effective immediately, according to UtahAmerican Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corp. They were announced in a short statement made public Thursday, two days after Obama won re-election.
The layoffs are necessary because of the president's "war on coal," the statement said. The slogan is one used frequently during the election by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who was an ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down "204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014" and for drastically reducing the market for coal.
"There is nowhere to sell our coal, and when we can, the market prices are far lower," the statement said. "Without markets, there can be no coal mines and no coal jobs."
Coal demand from U.S. power generation companies is down 17 percent this year, according to the federal Energy Information Administration's most recent figures. That's due in large part to low market prices for natural gas, and has the EIA forecasting the lowest coal consumption in at least two decades by the nation's electricity industry.
Trends in power generation have also put coal-fired plants at a higher risk for retirement. In its annual Energy Outlook, the EIA reports that 49 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity will be retired in the next eight years. That represents about one-sixth of the existing coal capacity in the nation and less than 5 percent of total electricity generation in the U.S.
People making up more excuses to fire people and increase profits.
All this is.
I believe one of the guys at the club found another Liberal he can fire.
Seems he came to work wearing a sweater that had a 'forward' pin on it which he had forgotten to remove!
I'll keep you posted.

EPA planning new anti-coal regulations for after election - National Government | Examiner.com
According to Conn Carroll at the Washington Examiner on Sunday, the Environmental Protection Agency is planning new anti-coal regulations to be implemented at the end of the month should President Barack Obama win reelection on Tuesday. These regulations will prevent new plants from being built and will cost Americans nearly a trillion dollars.Enjoy your higher energy prices, moron.
More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPAs greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.
Piss on Utah. 100 plus jobs lost in coal mining? So what? I bet that many Mormans die in Utah every day from just being stupid.
Roughly 33,000 new jobs this year in natural gas. Many high paying. Estimated one million more high paying jobs through 2021.
Want a job? Look to the energy field
Go.....go.......goLet the misery begin. A smart person would have an alternative in place before he kills the mainline source of energy but not the dumbass in the wh. oh no.. not us,, we can't have a pipline, here, let's give Brazile 20 billion dollars so their people can have some energy..

You are the moron. Because coal can't do the job for the price of honstly clean gas you think that our energy industry won't make any money? No idiot, coal loses 700 billion and gas makes as much or more.
Or you could just start a horse shoeing company and yell at cars.
