EAST CARBON, Carbon County — A Utah coal company owned by a vocal critic of President Barack Obama has laid off 102 miners.

 

The layoffs at the West Ridge Mine are effective immediately, according to UtahAmerican Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corp. They were announced in a short statement made public Thursday, two days after Obama won re-election.

 

The layoffs are necessary because of the president's "war on coal," the statement said. The slogan is one used frequently during the election by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who was an ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

 

In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down "204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014" and for drastically reducing the market for coal.

"There is nowhere to sell our coal, and when we can, the market prices are far lower," the statement said. "Without markets, there can be no coal mines and no coal jobs."

Of course if you were putting them out of work before someone invented a better solution you would be hurting Americans.

Coal is cheap and available and doesnt go into the pockets of people who have a questionable relatinship with the US.

It isnt that we dont care, it is that we dont see evidence of proof connecting wather changes and greenhouse gases.

I don't have to. You can see the slant in the banners on most of those pages. 

The Petition Project? 

Global Warming Scare?

Probably a lot of the same people who believe we never walked on the moon.

Coal produces 42% of the US electricity.  That is more than any other source.
