Page 2 of 2

After falling 4.9% yesterday, shares of CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE:CNX) are down another 2.5% today. Many believe the President will focus on ways to move the country toward clean-energy solutions and have the EPA place tighter regulations on coal-fired power plants. Tougher regulation on the use of coal will likely cause more coal-fired power plants to either close down or convert to natural-gas-fired plants. This won’t help CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE:CNX), but it shouldn’t kill the company, which has been diversifying its operations and becoming a player in the natural-gas industry.
