President Obama has to make a solid commitment to the Coal Industry.

In his second term, President Obama has to continue the funding that supports families and coal miners, continue union support as the only stop gap to calamity of the miners and their families and a promise to these workers to raise levels of federal assistance through R&D to solve the problems of this industry.

Why?

Easy.

Because the national security of the USA depends on self reliance for its people and its military. Solid fossil fuel is safer to manipulate than any other form it takes. With falling carbon dioxide levels there is always a place for fossil fuels that can be mastered to provide BENEVOLENCE.

The Coal Industry cannot go on denying its problems and blaming it on politics. Its reality has moved far beyond that.



The trouble with coal and the USA is the volume of trapped carbon dioxide in the solid coal. There has to be an understanding that only so much coal can be part of the energy paradigm for the USA to prevent our agricultural land from becoming a desert.

The Climate Crisis is real, but, coal in the USA is also our reality. It is by far the largest deposit of immediately available energy when the country is in crisis of war or otherwise. It cannot be denied as the greatest energy asset of the USA. It has to be mastered for the insured future of this country.

The lack of sustainability of the Coal Industry to date is due to the negligence of the Republican Party to commit this country to not only solving the industry's problems, but, the country's problems. Coal is a USA reality. It has to become a benevolent asset and not one that blights this country and the global troposphere. 

The Climate Crisis is real and it occurred because weak willed Republicans had no other vision except deregulation and the destruction of the federal authorities. 

Coal will always have a place in the USA as a defense strategy, so the idea the entire industry will disappear is not a reasonable one or a prudent one, but, its place is diminished as compared to the past, so is the idea of burning wood for electricity.

Ask Secretary Chu how hard he is working for the future of our country?

The continuing drought across the USA is unrelenting due to high CO2 levels. One of the latest findings hits the Great Plains and our farmers. We cannot continue to ignore this huge problem we face.
