Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, the former governor of coal-producing West Virginia, is blasting the Obama administration for using the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate coal-fueled power plants out of business.
On Thursday, American Electric Power company announced that to comply with a series of EPA regulations, it will close five coal-fired plants -- three in West Virginia and one each in Ohio and Virginia -- at a net cost of 600 jobs.
Hey we can always get the elctricity to charge the batteries on those nice shiny Volts from Mexico, can't we?

Of course everybody but Obama seems to know that global waring is all a hoax. What a weiner.
