All of the above? « Hot Air

All of the above? « Hot Air: "What this graphic says is that Obama sees no role for coal in America’s energy future.  What will replace it, and when?  Obama and his administration have already been conducting a war on coal for the last three years.  If they drive coal out of business, there isn’t anything ready to replace it except perhaps natural gas — which the Obama administration has been blocking with new rules and restrictions on fracking.  That means energy prices will necessarily skyrocket, with shortages, brownouts, and rationing the rule rather than the exception across the US.  And let’s not forget the half-million people employed by the coal industry who will find themselves out of work, too.

The Obama idea of “all of the above” comes up significantly short of all.  It’s why his energy policy doesn’t add up."
