Obama Achieves Goal of “Breaking” the Coal Industry

President Obama and his left-wing allies’ war on American industry has claimed yet another victim: coal giant Peabody Energy.

Promising way back in 2008 to “break” coal companies, Obama rode climate change hysteria into the White House, where he coordinated with congressional Democrats and cabinet agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency to undermine corporations like Peabody.
