Oh no!

Copy and paste this link in the web address Johnny.

I guess you can say that the spills create jobs too.

Good job Brian, you got both of our resident libs to respond. The Koolaide must be very strong for them to believe this closing and others are not the direct result of the Odumbass administration's EPA mandates. Wake-up boys, your man is about to go down in flames. Just look at Holder and what he's been doing. That guy needs to tried for treason, the whole administration needs to be tried for treason. Everything they have done has been outside of the constitutional authority. Now let's see what the socialists have to say about that.

What the socialists have to say is that Holder, Obama and the rest of the beltway (DOJ) is above all this and that, in regards to F&F, it was a case of BATF field directors hatching over-the-top operational plans that they couldn't keep in control, and who will now no doubt be burned, but it ends there. Will Congress let it happen this way? My money says yes. (aargh)

Murray Energy's strategy is to burn high sulfur coal. Can't do anything to hurt this planet, right?

Kevin Fleming , From what I have been able to find out, that is the way it happened. Search for "Project Gunrunner"

Johnny, take your blinders off! With what are you going to replace that coal, solar? Tell that to the people that depend on the coal fired electrical plants to provide them heat in the winter and air in the summer. Tell us with what will the Odumbass administration replace the coal. All this is going to do is drive-up the cost of electricity. If your weren't blind to your ideology you would see that.

We don't need coal, nuclear, gas or oil, we have solar, wind, and we can make fuel out of our food

That way we won't need near as much fuel because everybody will starve to death

Oh yeah it has to be raised organically we couldn't have any run off

Why are all liberal's brains broken?

Lets All Live Like the Indians (of India) Do, tra-la-la-la-la!

We don't need no stinking power!

Maybe the coal companies can set up exports to India. I hear tell India can use more power plants. I seem to recall hearing that they had MORE THE TWICE the population of the U.S. without any power a day or two ago and many of the "restored" power grids can only supply power to customers on a few hours a day basis. That is a great country to be in the business of selling and installing your own (usually that nice sweet smelling without ANY pollution controls, diesel) private generators.

Liberals???? Where's your answer??

There really is no point in telling a liberal to remove his blinders since they were born that way.

A coal fired power plant down the road here in SW Pa just closed due to new regulations.

Another is spending $700 million to come into compliance with those same regulations.

Soon we will have massive blackouts like India due to undersupply of electricity.

Can't say I have been following the coal issue, but does anyone know what year the EPA started requiring diesel engines to use EGR's and extra coolers, Particulate Filters and DEF in the engines to meet certain emissions standards?

I am trying to find a new Tier III Kubota SVL 90 or CAT 289C that doesn't have a particulate filter or has not been derated on the horsepower to meet emissions standards. Its getting hard to find them. One more added expense I can thank the EPA for and the politicians that allowed it to happen.

Obama said up-front that he basically wanted to run coal out of business, so nobody should be surprised.

Besides, this is nothing. Wait till you see what he does in his second term.
