As the Pentagon’s Comptroller from 2001-2004, Zakheim oversaw three Department of Defense budgets, the combined amount totaling $1 trillion dollars. In the spring of 2003, a scandal erupted, in which $1 trillion dollars in financial transactions was unaccounted for. Bush immediately pointed to “faulty Pentagon accounting” which would have (& should have) placed the blame on Zakheim. A study by the Defense Department’s Inspector General discovered that not only could the Pentagon not account for the trillion dollars in monies spent, but that the US Army somehow lost track of 56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units. View Entire Story Here. How is that the Zionist Jew, Dov Zakheim, got off Scott free? And where did the money and military equipment end up? I say the money ended up in the hands of the Mossad - and the equipment in the hands of the Israeli Defense Force. For they had “their man” — Zionist Jew Dov Zakheim — in the Pentagon.

Because the articles don't mention regulation (some of them do, btw), does not mean that it is not a factor. It is not only the availability of nat gas, it is the fact that the cost to mine coal and use coal fired plants has gone up at the same time. Coal, when not burdened with excessive government regulations, fees and fines, is very competitive with nat gas and blows solar and wind out of the water. Asking for a level playing field is not the same as asking for a handout.
