Ted Cruz promises Wyoming Republicans to roll back ‘war on coal’

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Republican candidate Ted Cruz promised to roll back what he calls President Barack Obama’s ‘war on coal’ if he’s elected president. ... Wyoming, the nation’s leading coal-producing state, has seen hundreds of coal industry layoffs in recent months as several of the nation’s largest coal companies have filed for federal bankruptcy protections.

“Hillary Clinton promises that if she’s elected, she’s going to finish the task and bankrupt anyone associated with coal,” Cruz said. “I give you my word right now, we are going to lift the federal regulators back, we are going to end the war on coal.”

Obama, in announcing the restrictions in 2014, said carbon emission cause health problems and contribute to global warming. “For the sake of all our kids, we’ve got to do more to reduce it,” he said of emissions.

Cruz, however, in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press after his speech, said he’s “not remotely” concerned that rolling back federal restrictions on coal could contribute to an increase global warming.

WY off. I see he is spending so much time in NY. He seems to be such as short run thinker doesn't he? To me, he should stop and head to Indiana.

As you probably can tell - I hate Cruz more than Trump

Honestly I cannot stand Cruz. Trump would even be preferable to him. If Cruz is elected he'll probably make George W Bush look like a good president.
