I will read your Warren article soon. But I don't think coal markets are sidelining coal. Obama and his supporters hate coal. They are severely limiting power generation by coal. While these new regulations will have no effect on the CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, these regs will certainly raise energy prices and restrict US growth. As Reuters reports, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Gina McCarthy is set to unveil new rules tomorrow that will dramatically limit emissions by U.S. power plants. >> usnews.com

That thing, of course, is that for which Elizabeth Warren is best known outside the progressive circle of writers and friends, and about which she will be subject to scrutiny if she runs: Her rip off of Native American identity to get herself on lists of Minority Law Teachers and Women of Color in Legal Academia as she was climbing the law school ladder. There will be scrutiny unlike anything in the Massachusetts Senate race, where the Boston Globe perpetuated the myth that she was 1/32 Cherokee (she’s 0/32) and ran cover for her on the highly questionable claim of family lore. Unlike in the Senate race, where the Brown campaign mostly tagged along after the research done by a small group of Cherokee genealogists and bloggers and tied the hands of outside groups through the “ peoples’ pledge,” there will be no limitations on the teams of professional political researchers. It’s a question of character that matters not a bit to progressives. We’ll see how it plays out among the greater population who never tried to rig the system by claiming a false ethnic identity for employment purposes. It’s the Fake Indian in the Room. And it’s the thing progressives don’t want to talk about.
