Clinton’s plan , , , is little comfort when coupled with her promise to put coal miners out of business.
“We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” Clinton said in during a recent CNN town hall, talking about her plan to tackle global warming.
She made these remarks in the context of the funding she would send
to coal country to stimulate local economies, but they seemed to echo comments made by then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008 about bankrupting the coal industry.
Her remarks couldn’t have come at a worst time for coal miners as more than 11,000 miners have lost their jobs
in the last year alone. Appalachian coal miners have been hit the
hardest because of higher costs, cheap natural gas and onerous federal
regulations.
