So much for the denials. An administration that denied it was waging a War on Coal has now come out and publicly declared its intention to shut down coal-fired power plants - putting hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work and sending electricity prices skyrocketing.
Obama claims he can do it all with no say from our elected representatives in Congress, but his designated point person for the effort, Gina McCarthy, awaits Senate confirmation. Given what we know now, a vote for McCarthy can only be understood as a vote for Obama's very expensive and destructive agenda.
Obama had no greater ally in the deliberate deception than Gina McCarthy. On April 13, 2010 she was asked point blank whether the EPA's power-plant greenhouse gas regulations would require coal plants to switch fuels. She said, "We haven't done it in the past, and there's been good reason why we haven't done it in the past."
