"if somebody wants to build coal utility plant it’s just that it will bankrupt them,!"

Utah company blames President Obama for 102 workers laid off

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.

Why would ANY President want companies to go bankrupt?
Why not HELP achieve results without BANKRUPTING???

1) HIS EPA forcing the following to lay off people:
a) coal companies facing “a regulatory environment that’s aggressively aimed at constraining the use of coal.”
b) Obama says: "if somebody wants to build coal utility plant it’s just that it will bankrupt them,!"
c) And he went on to say: “Under my plan....electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket"

2) Obama says he Obama said "I'd like higher gas prices.."

These are JUST a few ways Obama HAS NOT helped but hindered the economy. Helped at least KEEP jobs!
Consider if he had reduced EPA's influence...

Progress Energy Inc. of Raleigh, N.C., intends to close four coal-burning plants and replace two of them with gas-fired plants by 2017. The company says it's cheaper to build gas-fired plants than it is to outfit the coal units with the necessary pollution-control equipment.

SO WHY did the EPA then force these costs?
A new report from the National Academy of Sciences reveals that US coal-fired power plants do over $62 billion in environmental damages a year in "hidden costs".

So to supposedly eliminate $62 billion a year over 10 years .. $620 billion..
It cost the coal burning utility almost $300 million to add the pollution control.

examined 406 coal plants--which collectively create about 95% of the nation's coal-burned electricity. As Bloomberg notes, the "aggregate damages associated with sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted by the facilities amounted to $156 million on average per plant.

so the cost to bring 406 up to date $125 billion...
