American coal creates 766,000 jobs, more than $ 52 billion in wages to support American families, 40 percent of the nation's electric generation and is a basic requirement for the production of steel, yet President Obama has openly denounced coal, calling its use in the past a "mistake" -- an insult to the generations of coal miners who made America the greatest nation in the world. He has used executive orders to bypass congress, imposing impossible standards that will raise the price of energy for all Americans and destroy high paying coal mining jobs.
