"In Ohio recently, when Joe Biden said 'not here' about building coal-fired power plants -- this is exactly what will happen," Hamilton said. "Financing won't be directed here. It will all go aboard for plants elsewhere in the world. The United Sates is importing more coal today from Indonesia, South Africa and Colombia than we ever have."If we're going to create a situation where coal-fired power plants are at that much of a disadvantage, there will be new ones built. But as Biden said, just not here."
40,000 jobs lost; hundreds of millions in revenues, taxes, and fees paid - lost.
Very simply, and not dealing with this too deeply, that will be up to the people to decide on Tuesday ...
- why do you not want coal plants here?
answer: they pollute and destroy the environment
So - Biden and Obama's plan - send the coal plants elsewhere - and that will do exactly what?
- pollute the world somewhere else, where they do not have the technology to protect the environment, or clean up the mess.
- create jobs elsewhere
- make us further dependent upon foreign products
- feed the opposition in those countries with a cause - it isn't good enough for Americans and they want to pollute someone elses backyard.
That animus will not engender friendship. It creates hatred.
The attitude Biden and Obama have is as arrogant as any they claim Bush has - or more, and what is worse - they claim to be different.
They are the same, without a purpose!
Obama
Biden
