Coal Is Now Part of "All-The-Above" -- POTUS

Despite the claim by his vice president that "coal power is more dangerous than terrorism," the president (under duress?) has added coal to his "all-of-the-above" list of energy sources for the US.

The Obama campaign added a section on “clean coal” to its website this week after House Republicans alleged that the president’s “all-of-the-above” energy plan neglected the fossil fuel.

“President Obama has set a 10-year goal to develop and deploy cost-effective clean coal technology," according to the story at the link. I have not checked out the website so I cannot verify.

I think it's safe for him to add that to his website. Natural gas is now the real risk for the domestic coal industry.
