Once again we find Coal at the bottom of the stack in this week’s sector performance update. With Cap & Trade passing the house, and the Senate sure to pass something too, Coal should make itself comfortable down there. After all, President Obama himself said his Cap & Trade would necessarily bankrupt coal companies and drive utility bills up. Much like Europe has tried to do, unsuccessfully, this administration is hell bent on driving the cost of fossil fuels up so that windmills, solar panels and whatever riles the imagination will be as almost cost effective as our current energy infrastructure. We just hope they put those Obama stimulus stickers on everybody’s energy bill so they know who is to blame when the cost of cap & trade hits your mailbox.
