I'm not well enough versed in coal to compare pre-Obama coal with current levels of fracking. There are some Obama era regulations I support, there are many more that I don't support. You have to concede that coal ash is a big issue and mountain top clearing mining is a disaster on a small scale though we can argue about its merits. My personal opinion is that we should plow all energy subsidies into nuclear fission power, fusion research, and basic science for batteries / capacitors. Build massive nuclear plants for each power grid and let the states bid on who wants the plant investment. People who want it can buy their own renewables.
