in West Virginia being shut down by the federal government because of the unsafe level of coal dust in the mines.  The owner of these mines has been cited many times for health violations.  He is a Romney supporter and contributor and a strong advocate of deregulation.  What does he care if his workers develop black lung disease; their families can just bury them and he can hire more workers who have little choice but to work in the mines.  Is this kind of deregulation r ...

Obama Rushes Out 11th Hour Regulations Targeting CoalDec 28, 2016

At virtually the last possible moment, the Obama administration on Monday rolled out new regulations making it even more difficult and more costly to mine coal in the U.S., a final shot against the already beleaguered coal industry as the president leaves office. The Interior Department’s Stream Protection Rule will go into effect 30 after its official release and publication in the federal register, meaning it likely will be implemented Jan. 19 — one day ...
