“Why is Obama punishing the coal industry and having EPA fine businesses who don’t comply to their standards? In doing so, the American citizens have to suffer by paying more at the pumps and paying more for our coned bill.”
You might want to do some research in the future before embarrassing yourself. The Clean Air Act is quite unfavorable to coal as it is the dirtiest fuel commonly used. Ditto workplace safety laws. Are you suggesting that Obama order the executive branch agencies not to enforce the law?
But your “paying more at the pumps” and “paying more for out coned bill” are really out there for lack of connection to reality. No gasoline or diesel fuel in the US is produced from coal, although there are a few synthetic fuel projects under development. And very little electricity is produced by burning coal around here today: The generating plants serving NYC all converted to natural gas or dual (gas/oil) years ago, Indian Point provides some nuclear-generated electricity, and you can also choose a supplier that uses windmills.
