After quotes from both Barack Obama and Joe Biden on coal have arisen
over the last couple of weeks, the Ohio Coal Association has become
just a wee bit concerned about the direction an Obama administration
would take regarding energy. The president of the OCA released a statement today calling the Democratic ticket “extraordinarily misguided”
At the time, the Obama campaign swore that Biden had been taken out of
context. Now it looks like Biden had the context exactly correct. An
Obama administration would be very hostile to coal, and its
policies would kill jobs in the coal-producing regions of the US,
including the critical states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
others. If the Republicans can get this message out over the next 12
hours, they may be able to make a difference in Coal Country.
