#6 Actually I'm not too bothered by this. It's not actually as anti-capitalist as you think if you've read your Adam Smith.

#7 There's all those welfare checks to pay, but they're not going to be able to pay them because there won't be the drilling. AND.

There's going to be more welfare checks to pay.

#8 Bright Pebbles: you're the reason the socialists are winning: Everytime they come up with yet another wet dream to push us further out of business someone like you comes along to tell us it's capitalism.

#9 As of 2011, we got more than 40% of our power from coal-fired power plants. We are not building new nuclear power plants. What happens when the heat goes off and lights go off in a cold winter? I suppose people will be burning whatever is available. We sure have got some morons setting policy.

#10 According to recent trade articles that despite all the admin's anti-coal crap, coal by rail shipments surged the last few weeks. Reason seems to be the hot weather and increased demand for electricity. Utilities are going where fuel is cheaper and natural gas prices have risen so coal wins. And while the existing coal plants are still legal and comply with all the rules, cost is going to drive fuel selection.
