Hidden Audio: Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry

By P.J. Gladnick (Bio | Archive)
November 2, 2008 - 07:26 ET (Please read update about the San Francisco Chronicle neglecting to mention Obama's willingness to bankrupt the coal industry at bottom of this blog.)


Imagine if John McCain had whispered somewhere that he was willing to bankrupt a major industry? Would this declaration not immediately be front page news? Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview. The result? Nothing. This audio interview has been hidden from the public...until now. Here is the transcript of Obama's statement about bankrupting the coal industry (emphasis mine):

"really credible. BTW coal powered plants are a major source of pollution in China maybe you caught some of the problems with that during the Olympics?"


Our coal plants don't pollute like the ones in China and even if they did Obama's cap and trade is about CO2 emissions so it wouldn't do anything to fix the pollution problems of those plants even if they were polluting.

"which would test whether greenhouse gases could be stored underground instead of sent out smokestacks."


I thought they were already doing some of this to conform to current emission standards.

From what I have read, there was a cancelation of funding and that is why they are being hopeful

Once again, a liberal who is always worried about what everyone else thinks.

Now is this new-fangled "civilian national security force" in addition to the CAC (Civilian assistance Corps)?

We can equip them with nice brown shirts, jack boots, Billy clubs, and send them on a mission to encourage conformity with the ruling party.

Ahh history ....

Please post a link in which Obama says he will bankrupt the industry. In another link on this board, he talked about a company that builds A (meaning one) coal plant, and what that company would face if emissions are not sequestered, but released into the air. In no video does Obama use the words, "bankrupt the coal industry". Can you find one?
