A friend wrote and suggested that I check the stock prices for coal companies in the wake of Thursday’s EPA decision.

Well looky here! As of Friday:

Peabody Energy Corp
Change: Down 2.40 (8.14%)

Arch Coal Inc
Change: Down 2.22 (12.28%)

Grist thanks its sponsors. Become one.

Duke Energy Corp
Change: Down 0.47 (2.92%)

Couldn’t happen to a nicer industry.
