This fucking bitch vows to destroy an industry that currently generates 39% of all the electricity in our country, along with employing hundreds of thousands of middle class Americans. Does she really think wind and solar are going to replace coal? Get ready for blackouts and grid failure under Queen Hillary.
The people who vote for her cant grasp a simple pie chart. I myself am rather surprised that we still get 1% of our electricity from wood. That is a lot of frickin wood…
Hillary’s face when she tries to tell the truth.

Boehner backs Paul Ryan for president
By PATRICK TEMPLE-WEST and JAKE SHERMAN 03/16/16 09:07 AM EDT
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Former Speaker John Boehner said Paul Ryan should be the Republican nominee for president if the party fails to choose a candidate on the first ballot.
“If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above,” Boehner said at the Futures Industry Association conference here. “They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So I’m for none of the above. I’m for Paul Ryan to be our nominee.”

I’m surprised at how much electricity generation still comes from coal. I drive through WV occasionally, and obozo has already done a pretty terrific job at destroying the coal industry there.
The only upside to that fkn bitch and her lies: when the rolling blackouts/brownouts come, those who voted for her won’t be able to get on their igadgets, and won’t be able to run the AC full blast with the windows open. My experience is that these folks are like algore, huge hypocrites, who do not suffer inconveniences. And some republican will get the blame.
Peabody Energy shares crater 30% premarket after it says it may go out of business
By Ciara Linnane
Published: Mar 16, 2016 7:38 a.m. ET
Peabody Energy Corp. shares BTU, slumped 44% in premarket trade Wednesday, after the coal company raised ‘going concern’ issues in a regulatory filing. Peabody said it had a substantial loss from operations and negative cash flow in 2015 and it expects to continue to be loss-making this year. “These projections and other liquidity risks raise substantial doubt about whether we will meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date of this report,” said the filing. Peabody has opted to exercise the 30-day grace period with respect to a $21.1 million interest payment due March 16 on its 6.50% notes due September 202, as well as a $50.0 million interest payment due March 16 on its 10% senior secured second lien notes due March 2022. The company is not officially in default until the end of that grace period. However, “as a result of these factors, as well as the continued uncertainty around global coal fundamentals, the stagnated economic growth of certain major coal-importing nations, and the potential for significant additional regulatory requirements imposed on coal producers, among other matters, there exists substantial doubt whether we will be able to continue as a going concern,” said the filing. Shares have tumbled 95% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has lost just 3%.
Natural gas and fuel cells, are the wave of the future.
OBTW- Honda has released a “self driving” Civic for purchase to any schmucks who are willing to take the chance. Pricetag- $20,440

So-called renewable energy cannot provide the quantities of energy required to operate our hugely energy-intensive and energy-wasting wasteful industrial societies. The math simply doesn’t work.

At the same time the US coal industry is part of the cabal of large corporations that subvert US democracy by bribing politicians. They are not to be trusted.
The idea that we need to keep the coal industry subsidized to provide the jobs is a red herring – there;s far more good jobs to be had by supporting small scale businesses to improve America’s scandalously wasteful energy consumption patterns.
Additionally, there is the topic of climate change to consider. If the theory is correct then phasing out coal burning is a significant step towards reducing GHG emissions.

How’s that tar sand industry of yours doing?
What a shocker that you buy into the climate change bullshit?
Time to shut down the oil sands to save the world. I’m sure your teenage PM can make up for it with government spending.
When Obama’s buddies make the gas pipelines go boom, the gas electric plants will become useless (the EPA “Green” morons made sure they could not burn coal). The intelligent folks will still have big piles of coal to last months. I’ll be F’n laughing my butt off at the Urban “Green” Morons! PS: crushed coal can be burned with crushed limestone in a jet flame and the limestone is turned into lime that absorbs mercury etc and the lime can be turned into cement to lock up the mercury for a thousand years. PSPS: Our ancestors had the sense to drain swamps or make ponds that have minnows, dragonflies, tadpoles, beetles etc that eat mosquito larvae and provide fish for supper. Yous Urban “Green” Morons enjoy the hell out of yous mosquito bites, poison sprays and diseases ya’hear.
And what kind of jobs are those coal miners going to get in West Virginia?
I know, we can put them on section 8, SNAP, medicaid, assistance, and SSDI. And once they are out of work, we won’t count them anymore, and unemployment will go down even more.
Meanwhile, your electricity bill will triple.
The coal industry isn’t facing only regulatory obstacles at every level from OSHA to environmental effects of mining to emissions, natural gas is more than cost competitive with it on its own right.
That combined with the huge advantage it has over coal in emission and other regulatory compliance makes it the obvious future for primary energy generation.
As older coal fired plants need replacement, I think the majority of the will be replaced by natural gas fired ones (solar and wind just won’t be able to cut it).
@ Dutchman: Exactly! They’ll become slaves of the state, which is what the intent was all the time.
BL, good look getting insurance on that when the wrecks begin to pile up.

Yep, after they are dependent on the government, they will vote for bigger government. Almost like they planned this.
Amazing the shit she gets away with. If she were a Republican, that quote would be played on loop 24×7 by every media outlet until she withdrew from the race.
cdubbya …. the Village Idiot of THE WORLD
Hillary is following Obamas playbook she believes if it worked for Obama it should work for her. Obama made essentially the same statement and still got elected.
Which all goes to prove that there are plenty of idiots that are allowed to vote.

Hitlery’s biggest threat isn’t anything domestic, it’s the fact that she is Queen of the neocons in D.C. And that, my friends, is why I’m voting for Bernie Sanders; to avoid a mushroom cloud in our future.
Westie,
Between Trump & Hitlery, who would you vote for?
Thanks Stucky, an oxymoron from a functional one.
Hi Admin, please try and expand your prodigious intellect to include the possibility that someone who opposes the US coal industry might also oppose the Canadian tar sands. I realize it might be a stretch but up obviously have lots of time on your hands so give it a shot.
If you can handle that perhaps you could entertain the idea that seven billion humans, billions of them industrialized
Just might might just be able to influence global natural systems.

Am I getting under your socialist global warming skin? You seem a little hot under the collar. Must be that climate change from your tar sands.
How is your black mechanic? See any other black people in your lily white socialist paradise today?

I’m surprised 1% electricity comes from wood and absolutely none comes from oil.
Every standby generator set I’ve ever seen has been fueled by diesel. I sure am glad I bought my single cylinder diesel engine and generator head before the EPA banned the engine from being imported. Looks like I’m gonna need it again soon.
We should be generating electricity by burning politicians, lobbyists, and the people that own them.
I don’t even care about the electricity part.
The wood portion of the pie chart is probably by-product from paper mills , not wood in the same sense you normally think about it.
Screw Boehner, worthless cry baby! He bent over for Obama every chance he got!
