Why is it bad to have coal in America but it's good to spend 7 billion to make it in Africa?

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/02... If global warming is bad here, it's bad in Africa too. We're told it's a global event and we'll die if we keep using coal. But it's cool to spend 7 billion dollars to generate global destructive energy in another country. If you don't like my source google it.

Update:

? How am I a dumb ***? He's promoting coal energy. Carbon emission! Hello! What difference do markets make when he's going to raise the temperature of the globe and set us aflame? Money doesn't matter when we're burned alive and drowning in glaciers ? You just don't care about the Earth.

    Just like those who oppose the Keystone Pipeline in the US because oil from tar sands is "dirty".

    If we don't refine it in the US it will end up being exported to China where they will burn it. The last time I checked, China and the US share the same atmosphere.

    We would be better off refining it here where we have stricter refining and air quality standards.

    Obama has to make America fall. That is the end result of his agenda it is evident by everything he has done or wants to do. Anything he tries to pass is very controversial and therefore serves one prupose and that is to further divide us. Hs hates coal why? America runs on coal. America without coal is a wind turbine that has no wind. Also the coal states did not vote for him. The race card flew out when that happened but to no avail. The coal states saw right through his "agenda". he gave a speech in his first campaign in Bristol Va and said clean coal was going to be pushed in his administration. Ahhhh everyone was hollering and clapping. Yeah go Obama !!! Then 2 weeks later in SF. Ca he gave an interview to the chronicle out there and said there was no such thing as clean coal. Guess what, the coal states were listening to him. Uttttt ohhhhhh, bammmmm we ain't gonna vote for this guy. Obama touts energy that does not work so that America will continue to fal lon it's knees.

    It doesn't.

    But you can't try to use logic when evaluating progressive ideas.
