Creative destruction... or just destruction...

 

But then again, President Obama has an alternative...

There is never anything creative with .gov's destruction (other than moar ways to detroy things). There is only despair.

For that you'd need to go to IsraHell, they're the brains behind that and therefore the problem>>

Looked like WTC7 in that video clip... Did a plane crash 150 yards from that coal plant?

They were invisible planes, you know the kind that don't leave any debris.

Heat so intense they vaporized.

"mostly due to structural failure because the fire was just too intense", said the Harley Guy.

Well, they all fell into each other's footprints, so the plane must have flown up from underground.

China added 39 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity in 2014 — 3 gigawatts more than it added in 2013. That is equivalent to three 1,000 megawatt units every four weeks. At the peak, from 2005 through 2011, China added about two 600-megawatt coal plants a week, for 7 straight years.  And, China is expected to add the equivalent of a new 600-megawatt plant every 10 days for the next 10 years. These new coal plants that China is constructing are more efficient and cleaner than their old coal-fired plants.

Honestly, modern coal fired plants can be very clean, just like you see with modern diesel cars. The governement REFUSES to subsidize these additional improvements but they will freely give money to Solyndra and Elon Musk.

I actaully worked on the desulfurization and micronization of coal way back in the 80s. The coal was so pure that helicopter engines (as a slurry with water) ran off of this material. The octane rating was higher than the fuel previously used. This was also successfully tested in the Abrams engine with some modifications of course. This was an attractive fuel because it did not aerosol when the fuel tank was hit so it minimized secondary explosions.

We're talking about an effort to kill an industry (after the carnage of "acid rain" never lead to the end of the world), for what reason is unclear at this point.

Kill the industry and then buy it up cheap. Then start the cycle all over again.

"Honestly, modern coal fired plants can be very clean, just like you see with modern diesel cars. The governement REFUSES to subsidize these additional improvements but they will freely give money to Solyndra and Elon Musk."

It is not about "clean," as all government actions are about money, power, and division.

Coal is being targeted because someone(s) is paying someone(s) more than coal is.

Now factor in Zion as a fifth-column plunderer, and the plot grows even more sinister.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

 

It is never about "clean," "warming," "security," "education," "ideology," "infrastructure," etc., but always about money, power, and division.

I think you are correct.

 

Coal is very clean as a fuel when done properly which all madern plants do.

its clean...

its cheap...

 

 

But that appears not to matter.

I thought the reason was very clear. Handicapping American economy to create further instabilities that enable them to justify ABSOLUTE AND UNRESTRAINED CONTROL.

Its helpful but not enough threat to have head hackers in far away lands coming for us. No, what is really needed is an invisible enemy, a silent killer that only they can define and only they can defeat.

As with our economy, we are told to not believe what we see with our own eyes, nor what we hear with our own ears, as that is purely anecdotal and unreliable to use to plan and defend our interests. No, only THEY have such knowledge and WISDOM to determine the FACTS. The destruction of our coal, of our domestic oil production (lest you don't recognize what all of this shit with Iran is about), destruction of our industries...our jobs, all part of a unified plan of action. We want to believe that this is just all some horrible, misdirected, stupid mistake...but it is not. We are too close. Stand back a bit. Look at it as if you were from another planet, unfamiliar with our politics and cultures.

"No, only THEY have such knowledge and WISDOM to determine the FACTS."

Astute observation. I've come to call it "information arbitrage" - and I can only imagine what's being kept from us.

We're doomed.

The Chinese are probably anonymous donors to the Gore/Obama Admin war on coal.   If they can kill coal in 'western' coutries, just makes it more available for Asia.  cha-ching.

The country needs another dumber than a box of rocks bush or corrupt lying cheating cunt-on about as much as it needs a third term of the fudgepacker...  career politicians?

obamas handlers are the largest world threat...obama could not threaten a fucking ant.  the gay faggot married to a man and probably does not have kids...I almost feel sorry for him, he cant even golf good, or play basketball, or even sing like most black people know how to do...he is a nothing and he knows it.  And george bush?  cant even tie his own shoelaces, and in my humble opinion has no clue who did 911... they are all banker stooges...the bankers put in john kennedy who had a brain, and learned to get a president who was brain dead because they didnt want to kill another president I guess.

Anyone who says that this factory demolition has anything to do with overcapacity will have their organs harvested.
