A move by the Environmental Protection Agency to revoke the long-standing permits for a mammoth coal mine in West Virginia sends a strong signal that President Obama plans to implement key parts of his agenda even though newly empowered Republicans can block his plans in Congress. In the aftermath of the November elections, many political pundits predicted that the once-unchecked Obama legislative machine would turn it's energies to federal rulemaking as a way to circumvent Republicans on Capitol Hill. And the EPA’s decision last week suggests that those forecasts were spot-on. Much to the consternation of the West Virginia delegation in Congress, the coal industry, and the working people of the Mountain State, the agency took the unprecedented step of revoking a mining permit that it had issued four years ago to Arch Coal’s Spruce No. 1 Mine in Logan County, West Virginia. KEEP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS, WEST VIRGINIA!!!  |

I still find it hilarious that several coal miners' unions were all for Obama in '08. And, because they're unions, they'll still be behind him next year.

So does this mean, if they cannot get a law through Congress, they will just implement rulings by the sitting Czars? Just testing the water to see the reactions??

I think in this case the mining company has grounds to sue the hell out of the EPA since the permit had already been granted.

Coal miners always complain about Reagan cutting funding for coal research to, I don't know, balance the budget or somesuch nonsense. However, when a left-wing moron takes office it's miraculously better, even though he would be the one more likely to cut coal funds due to "Global Warming". As long as the miners are too blind to not be led by the unions they'll continue to vote whichever way the union wants. |

If I'm not mistaken, the EPA has blocked every coal mine permit submitted since 2008.
In VA not a single one has been approved to my knowledge. |

We've got to get our heads out of our asses in this country and STOP letting special interests run the show. They want to stop all kinds of job producing industry while all around the world it is business as usual. Not everyone will grow up to be executives. This is leaving the US further and further behind in this global economy. |

Check this out. Another anti Coal move.
http://thepeoplestribune.com/?p=8273 My area just lost 70 VERY GOOD JOBS, Mostly because the coal fired power plant was not up to MO DNR/EPA standards and on top of that EPA is trying to get the cinder pile designated as a hazerdous waste site.... .
Company said screw it shut it down. Another school districts tax base cut in half over night. The economic FAIL is just, well I don't have the words. Economic Suicide really comes to mind. True Blue idiocy. |

I will say this, until some of you folks come over here, live your fucking lives like we do here, do the jobs that we do to keep your fucking lights on, and put up with the shit we do from everyone else, I don't think anyone on this board other than West Virginians have any place to say what is wrong with WV. In case some of you may not know, hatred for Obama in WV is very strong. This hatred goes both ways. Maybe he'll realize someday when your fucking lights go out that he fucked with the wrong industry. I'm done in this thread
