Nothing says lovin’ like gutting an industry.
But before you listen to the audio of Barack Obama and his radical views on coal, first a few facts concerning coal as it relates to Indiana, courtesy of the Indiana Coal Council:
Indiana Coal Production since 2004 and where in Indiana coal is mined:
2007 – 34,231,151 tons
2006 – 34,715,610 tons
2005 – 34,460,052 tons
2004 – 35,240,514 tons
The post on Red State notes that it’s odd that this is the only portion of the interview with the San Fransisco Chronicle that has been released, but as Moe Lane puts it “Live by the avoidance of transparency, die by the avoidance of transparency.”

Some on WIBC this morning didn’t think he was saying what he was saying because they did not hear it in context. They are wrong. He does intend on drastically increasing the price of electricity and destroy the coal industry.
The President of the Ohio Coal Association issued a scathing rebuke of Obama regarding his comments on coal.

The line I think it particularly accurate is:
Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short-sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation’s coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to ‘bankrupt’ our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices.
