FLASHBACK: President Obama Says He Will Bankrupt the Coal Industry?



Check out the pie graph and below and see how much of our energy is generated from the coal industry. If we make a drastic shift to the alternative energies that are more expensive than the coal power, then it will affect many people who cannot afford ANY additional costs in their living expenses.

In 2007 according to the graph, the United States only received 2.5% of its energy from renewable energies. America country cannot afford to limit its traditional energy methods drastically unless suitable replacements are discovered and implemented, because how will our economy and industry survive? America must exploit its resources, because the alternative energies are just not sufficient at this particular technological stage to power 50-70% of America's total power needs like coal, natural gas and nuclear do currently.
