The CEO of the nations largest privately held coal mining company says President Trump should fire four of the five commissioners who rejected Energy Secretary Rick Perrys plan to help coal and nuclear power plants.
Robert Murray, head of Murray Energy Corp., said the members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), an independent agency, defaulted on their duties by rebuffing the plan to stop coal and nuclear plants from closing. Supporters said the reliability of the electric grid was at stake.
I believe that the Trump administration, with the exception of Neil Chatterjee, picked three bad appointees for FERC. And they should all be fired, Murray told The Hill on Tuesday.
Murray is an outspoken advocate for coal. He accused former President Obama of being the nations greatest destroyer and said last year that Obama should be charged criminally for actions toward the coal industry.

(40,168 posts)I watched this horrible POS on a PBS show (Frontline?) a few months ago doing handstands as Scott Pruitt peeled back every coal-related environmental protection regulation he could get his grubby hands on.
Later I saw Robert Murray with oxygen tubes shoved up his pig-like snout. How's that filthy coal dust workin' out now, asshole?
How I despise this greedy scumbag.....
