Kerry Wanted to Ban Coal in US While Getting Iran Nukes
Kerry thinks coal is too dangerous for America, but nukes are safe for Iran.

Just another sign of how demented and hypocritical the left is.
While John Kerry was working to help Iran go nuclear, he was fighting a different kind of covert energy war in the US.
The final shape of the Clean Power Plan was hashed out over months of often contentious meetings as administration officials debated how to balance two competing objectives. On one side were advocates who pushed for the deepest possible cuts in U.S. greenhouse-gas pollution to help build momentum for international climate talks this December in Paris. On the other were experienced regulators and lawyers who saw trouble ahead as the proposed rule picked up growing numbers of opponents in Congress and in the utilities industry...
Among those pushing for the strongest possible rule was Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who will represent the United States in talks later this year on a proposed international climate treaty. Kerry “pushed very hard internally” for a tough regulation, according to a diplomatic official familiar with the private discussions, arguing that the United States needed to set a strong example if it expected other countries to join in a global pact to reduce greenhouse-gas pollution blamed for accelerating Earth’s warming.

Obviously Kerry doesn't care about hiking energy prices for middle class families in America. Ironically, he and his pals would be exactly the kinds of people who would ferociously protest against nuclear power plants in America.
But Kerry is working his ass off to get nukes for Iran, even though it isn't even interested in power generation, its endgame is a weapons program. Still Kerry thinks coal is too dangerous for America, but nukes are safe for Iran.
