Barack Obama Doesn't Care About Coal Miners

This title, is of course, modeled after Kanye West's infamous comments during Hurricane Katrina.

For all of his talk of getting us off foreign energy, we get Obama saying that he'll, in effect, cripple the American economy.

So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

But wait, there's more:

You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.

So if Obama becomes President, and we cut down on domestic energy production and gas prices will go down? Something is wrong with this fuzzy math.
