The Wall Street Journal confirms that Barack Obama’s and John McCain’s coal policy is essentially the same.
Noting that Sarah Palin’s accusations in Ohio had fired up a campaign rally, the Journal, which is widely considered to be country’s financial organ of record, reports in Coal Warriors: Palin, Obama Camp Spar Over ‘Bankrupting’ Big Coal, that,
. . . Sen. Obama’s stance on the future of coal power doesn’t appear to differ much from Republican proposals. Both candidates say that climate change and global warming is a problem, and both want to spark a transition away from traditional coal-fired plants. Both candidateshave proffered support for “clean coal,” a new generation of plants that can capture and bury carbon emissions. Spokemen for the Obama campaign stressed that he never called for the abolition of the coal industry and underscored similarities between his proposals and Sen. McCain’s.
Shame on John McCain for lending his reputation to a campaign of half-truths, deception, and flat lies.
One special note about the WSJ article. The knuckle draggers have attacked it with such vicious comments that they leave no doubt that the article hit its mark.
