If you ignore the public poses of political advocates, you would free your mind to come the logical conclusion that Big Oil is behind the shutting down of its rival, the coal industry. Also done to shut down logging, which competes with the petrochemical, plastic.Reallocation of resources to meet market incentives increases production and we as a nation are left better off for it. Reallocation of resources to meet political or regulatory incentives decreases production and we as a nation are left the worse off for it.
The President has made it quite clear that he intends to choke off and shut down the coal industry, which he sees' as a worthy loss in the regulatory goal of fighting off ManBearPig. Then he goes off and tries to push us into the electric cars that run off coal.
hope that helped.
