President Obama and his left-wing allies’ war on American industry has claimed yet another victim: coal giant Peabody Energy.
The largest supplier of coal in the United States, Peabody has gone belly up in a move that comes as a shock to many. However, given the circumstances under which the company filed for bankruptcy, it should surprise no one.
Although Peabody’s management is undeniably responsible for their business’ demise, it’s pronounced fall and decline did not occur in a vacuum. On the contrary, it was the inevitable result of a year-long assault on the coal industry by the left.
Promising way back in 2008 to “break” coal companies, Obama rode climate change hysteria into the White House, where he coordinated with congressional Democrats and cabinet agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency to undermine corporations like Peabody.
By implementing overly-burdensome regulations like the Mercury Air Transport Standard, the administration was able to subdue Peabody into bankruptcy.

Bad idea folks, Hillary is onboard with it also. That makes her a bad idea!
Hopefully this time next year he will just be a bad dream. Have to admit there were a lot of democrat coal miners who voted for him. Wonder if they learned anything from this…
I wonder what the UMW thinks of Obama now/? The UMW backed Obama in both elections. Saying in the first election that they had to get Obama elected. What a shame.
When the wind stops? What are you, fucking retarded? The wind doesn’t stop. Those turbines run 24/7. And solar energy would easily be enough to run this country, but the only time you ever see them its just a few here and there. If we had 5 acres worth of solar panels? That’s an unimaginable amount of energy. And when do people use hydroelectricity? And backyard? Why would I have to have something in my backyard? My coysin has all of 3 little solar panels on his house, takes up 47% of all hos electric. 47%!!! Just from 3 singular panels. Try telling me aome ignorant$#%&!@*like its not enough. You’re dumb dude. And go ahead and think the coal industry isn’t doing anything wrong. When you get end stage lung cancer and/or COPD don’t dare try to blame the rightfully to blame coal companies. All the people that have died from cancer from that$#%&!@* Oh it’s clean. YOU obviously have no clue wtf you’re talkong about. It’s a fossil fuel. Those are carcinogenic regardless.
Just like we don’t need this ultra toxic nuclear energy either. We don’t need gas. Hemp is a viable solution to most of our problems. Paper? Yup. Hempcrete is thousands of times stronger than concrete. It has numerous vitamins and minerals. It grows in practically no time. It can creat fabrics and other things in the textile industry. It can be used as gas in cars. None of these outdated, old world techniques are needed in the dawn of unprecedented scientific achievement. Do you also believe in GMOs?
Should NOT be allowed. Congress do your JOB !
If you accept the premise that obama hates America, and hates Americans, then everything he has said, and done, and everything he has not said and not done, makes perfect sense. To better understand the origin of his beliefs, and their foundation, read, in his own words, obama’s books, “Dreams From My Father” and “Audacity of Hope”. Then look at what he has done in light of what he has said. barack obama is also a follower of, and a believer in Saul Alinsky, a communist community organizer who wrote a book titled “Rules for Radicals”. Read/examine these publications, then tell me you can honestly believe barack obama has America’s interests in his mind, let alone in his heart. More directly he is doing exactly what he stated 5 days before he was elected for his first term as president – his promise that “we are 5 days from fundamentally transforming America”. barack obama is the greatest threat this country has ever faced. That he was elected at all is one thing, but that the American people have tolerated repeated insult, injury, and acts of lawlessness without objection from this man, yet elect him for a second term says far more about us than it does about him.
and allllll that money they gave him…….shame shame shame
Obama is putting a lot of people out of work. The Virginia coal mines are in a poverty stricken area.
