BHO wants to bankrupt the US coal industry

Back in January 2008 during the Democratic primary, BHO made some statements about the US coal industry that have been buried until now due to their obvious impact on the battle ground states of Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The statements were made to the San Francisco Chronicle during a January 17, 2008 interview.

BHO stated that he would be willing to see the US coal industry go bankrupt through the use of his version of a "cap and trade" implementation that would see the costs for generating electricity via coal rise to the point to where he said,

"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."

Here is the potentially next President of the USA saying that he wants to bankrupt an American industry that generates over 50% of the electricity of the US! Unbelievable, but this is just coming out since the SF Chronicle failed to put the statements in their article.

It was only through research by an independent journalist that these statements have come to light. BHO even went further by stating his overall "energy policy" towards coal:

"Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's 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 you go back and ready my post "The USSA begins today" and read #10, you will see that this is all part of BHO and the SMDC's agenda to turn the USA into the USSA.
