Considering Obama has more than once stated he is for CLEAN coal factories, the quotes in this article make little sense. If it was picked up from the SF Chronicle, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that newspaper didn't misquote -- it is an extremely liberal paper and I doubt it is even pro-clean coal. Of course, it could have easily been misquoted by the online sources. Either way, it really does sound like a distortion of what Obama has previously said and believes.

And I heartily endorse the idea that if you're a factory using coal, you need to do your part to make sure it is burning as clean as humanly possible. If you're not, then you deserve to have your company bankrupted via fnes, etc. I've seen the damage done by factories and their air, soil and water pollutants. Many continued polluting long after they knew the effects and didn't care because the fines were much less than the clean up. It is time to make the fines harsh enough to stop the pollution.
