  • October 9, 2013 the Honorable Barack Obama President the White
    October 9, 2013 The Honorable Barack Obama President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As Democrats dedicated to a prosperous America and a clean environment, we encourage the adoption of policies within the framework of your clean energy agenda that accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable coal. We write to you not as representatives of any industry or special interest, but as elected representatives of the American people and as members and leaders of the Democratic Party. The CoalBlue Project seeks to achieve a broad, bipartisan, and unwavering commitment to coal as a sustainable fuel of the future. We, the undersigned, as Democrats dedicated to a vibrant economy and a healthy environment, support the mission of the CoalBlue Project. We believe securing a diverse mix of sustainable energy resources, including sustainable coal, is vital to America’s future and its standing in the world. Coal is an engine of economic activity and growth that delivers incredible social benefits. Its production is the economic lifeblood of many of the communities we represent and serve. Far more broadly, the affordable and reliable electricity it generates helps keep businesses across America running, providing jobs for millions of hard-working men and women. It has powered America to greatness, and it can and will – in a cleaner form – fuel us into the future. To achieve a clean energy future, we must develop energy resources that are abundant, affordable and reliable, yet have minimal impact on the environment. Sustainable coal will help attain a greater balance between worldwide demands for energy that derive from economic and societal advances, and the obligation to deliver a clean, enduring environment for future generations.
