[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1985970, member: 229"] So I keep hearing these arguments on how Obama (and the Dems') Green policies have totally crippled our nation's energy industry (so much that it is used in arguments to point out how Obama is responsible for the economy to some degree) and yet oil has made some record profits during Obama's 1st term with no signs of losing money any time soon. The answer I seem to get is a complete ignoring of that fact while we move onto Coal (presumably because coal isn't making record profits). So let me ask this: What are the specific policies of Obama's administration (or even Dems in Congress or agencies like the EPA) that affect the Coal industry? How much of an effect have these policies truly had in terms of real numbers - how much production/exporting, how much profit, how many jobs lost? I'm genuinely interested and have learned a thing or two from the Union and Welfare threads that I honestly didn't know before. Please use sources or use real numbers that can be found somewhere. Here's some basic stuff from Wikipedia: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#Major_coal_producers[/url] [/QUOTE]
