Coal power, im sorry is dying and will eventually die.. Those jobs will be lost.
Another example is automatic cars will kill millions of jobs.
Some jobs go the way of the dodo bird, and you cant change that. Has happened, is happening, will happen.
Forcing us to rely on antiquated means of power so a few people can profit from it while using 300 union jobs as a straw man reason to vote to continue it and to inhibit research into other means of power & employment, is wrong.
Without a smart government then that's what you get... and sadly, that's what we HAVE here in the US, thanks to 30-40 years of republican policy.
Its time to try something different.
So that brings us to, social programs so those 300 people can survive until there is more work available? what do you have against that? Why do you think that is wrong?

Well giving Solindra 300 million dollars of tax payer money for them to go bankrupt a couple years later is what I have against that. And, for you to be so flippant about those 300 workers and their families is hypocritical to the "so called" compassionate ideals you so fervently express. On top of it, it's not just those 300 people it's 10s of thousands of men and women who made a good living working their asses off providing you with low cost energy every day. Solar/Wind is worthless and when the Tax Credits run out that to will die because it's inefficient. We as a company are moving to NGas and your EPA Sierra Club Nazi's have already told us they are going after that too. Coal and Oil are this country's largest natural resources and because some "special interest" HAX can put up Bullshit computer models and donate millions to democrats and squishy republicans alike were gonna turn into a 3rd world country. Jonathan Gruber was correct, the American voter is stupid.
I hope you're ready for Rolling Blackouts, because they are coming to a town near YOU
