A two-panel cartoon from August 2015 shows a coal-fired power plant in both frames. The left panel poses a question about President Obama's alternative to coal. The right panel answers nuclear while a bomb marked Clean Power Plan hangs above the same plant. The Clean Power Plan was the administration's signature effort to cut carbon emissions from power plants. The image uses the bomb to suggest the policy would destroy the coal industry. Publication occurred weeks after the EPA finalized the rule in early August 2015.
