Obama has been talking about shutting down coal plants for a while. What was their excuse in 2012?
I guess they weren't listening in January 2008 when Obama said this in a TV interview: "So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted."
It's not like they weren't warned.
