OUCH: Barack Obama says he’ll bankrupt coal powered electricity generators
The odds-on favourite to win the US Presidency Barack Obama has declared his intention of bankrupting companies that use coal to generate electricity.
If fulfilled in reality, Senator Obama’s rhetoric could have severe implications for Australia.
Democrats say that Obama’s rhetoric attacking coal-fired electricity generation might have been a bit overblown for the San Francisco journalists he was trying to impress. They say that Obama has pledged a big government commitment to clean coal technology and that his opponent Senator McCain is also pledged to a “cap and trade” system on carbon emissions of the same kind being considered by the Australian government.

54% of US electricity comes from coal!
OUCH!
Another glaring example that HIS agenda is more important than the hundreds of thousands of workers who will lose their jobs if he “bankrupts” the coal industry.
He is filled with self-importance and entirely self-serving.
At least he is not a worthless incontinent old warmonger like McCain or a small town trollop like Palin.
Well well well, they elected the slave.
And NOW is the time to payback generations of racist white dirt.
