#2 That's where liberal billionaire Soros steps in.

Liberal? That is way far understated. The guy can ferret out a buck no matter how deep you bury it. Soros knows coal is not going to be replaced by "green energy" (wind, solar). He will sell it to the Chicoms if the U.S. gets too prohibitive.

#3 Soros is not a liberal, he is a leftist. There is a big difference.

#4 Due to decommissioning nuke plants after Fukashima, the big export destination for US coal is (are you ready for this) Europe. The EU is actually claiming to be cleaning up it's coal emissions by using American coal, as opposed to the crap the Germans dig up.
This of course gives Soros a throttlehold on European electric prices. And winter's coming.

#7 Probably, he often bets on failure and makes a bundle.

#8 The whole scam was designed for the leftists to bankrupt and take over the industry. That is all. Has nothing to do with global warming scam, that's just a crutch.

Soros is evil

#9 Soros and Buffet support O&Co because they know that O will make stupid decisions with unintended consequences. Think coal, and think Keystone and tank cars carrying crude.
