November SURPRISE Obama to Bankrupt Coal Industry
Welcome Bankruptcy! Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana - Vote OBAMA for NO MORE COAL!
Obama's Words:
Let me sort of describe my overall policy.
What Ive said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody elses out there.
I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; its just that it will bankrupt them because theyre going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas thats being emitted.
That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.
The only thing Ive said with respect to coal, I havent been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.
Its just that it will bankrupt them.
Obama sat with The Chronicle editorial board Jan. 17 for the interview. In his wide-ranging session with the paper, the Democratic senator from Illinois spoke about his energy plan and an "aggressive" cap-and-trade policy, and spoke about coal technology.
"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them, because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," he said. In the same interview, the senator said that "if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it."
Obama is a dangerous FAR LEFT LIBERAL who will take our country in a way different direction than we have ever seen. Along with Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, they will plow through anything they want to impose on the American people. They will also be able to elect Liberal judges who will interpret the constitution in a different way than how it was meant. We need judges who interpret the constitution, and not try to ammend it, as Barack Obama proposed in a 2001 Audio on NPR Radio. Where he stated he wanted the Supreme court to change the constitution to be able to redistribute wealth which was not done for the civil rights struggle. What the heck??!!!
