The coal jobs lost are not even close to the numbers of jobs lost that were had because of the coal business. Mechanics, construction equiptment manufacturing employees etc, etc.. Many, many jobs have been lost because that b*st*rd in Washington DC is in bed with the so called clean energy entities that are pushing for this crap. While we're at it how about the ethanol levels being raised to 15 percent so they won't hurt the corn farmers incomes. I totally believe in supporting farmers by the way, but think when the national marine manufacturers association has a completely safe proven alternative to ethanol that won't destroy our outboards & small equiptment engines the epa should listen. Wonder who leans on the epa to pass this crap. The same b*st*rd in Washington DC who has bankrupted so many. I will proudly also say that i'm a democrat & d*mn sure never voted for Obama. By the way i'm just posting in general & not aimed at anyone posting in this thread. lol
