Obama Will Bankrupt Them

[R13]

And again, the time in which someone says things contributes to the context. And when things like that are ignored, the statement is sometimes taken out of context. Its very relevant.

how else do you expect this to be interpreted?

in what context should this be taken?

id say its pretty clear cut

[R13]

Read my comment a few pages ago.

"Constructing new coal plants that don't have clean coal technology (carbon capture) would raise costs big time. Analysts have said that new coal plants would create huge financial risks for shareholders and ratepayers, because of the likely cost of their greenhouse gas emissions."

Hmm looks to me thats what he meant.

[BlueWahooChambordDevil]

thats what YOU think he meant

[R13]

"The same approach that brought a decline in sulfur dioxide emissions can have an equally dramatic and permanent effect on carbon emissions. Instantly, automakers, coal companies, power plants, and every other enterprise in America would have an incentive to reduce carbon emissions, because when they go under those limits they can sell the balance of permitted emissions for cash."

Well what do you think Mccain meant when he said that? Looks pretty similar to what Obama said. Again he didnt say that he would make those companies go bankrupt, he stated a fact.
