Coal plants closing: Why coal plants closing means higher electricity prices - Chicago Tribune

I can't find the original article but it is in one of the older threads, Here is one though that tells us what is coming.

Here is a feel good piece that white washes the issues associated with the closings and coasts and lost jobs.

Business Breakdown: New Pollution Rules to Close Coal Plants - Business - GOOD

The claim that only a handful of plants are effected is simply wrong, in the original article over 60 plants would close and another 70 to 80 would cost to much to upgrade so likely would close. Something like 60 percent of our electricity comes from coal or gas.

We should build more as the cheaper the energy is=more profit to hire more workers=lower unemployment. Again, Obama isn't very smart...Not that I'm totally against cleaner, but there is a point of going to far!

That is sufficient cause to show him the door right there.

This is part of Obama's plan to fundamentally transform the United States. His goal is to destroy free enterprise in the USA. He has previously indicated he wants to shut down the coal industry.

"Energy costs necessarily need to double'' Care to defend that statement in a debate? What will poor people do, vote for higher gas and electricity prices?

His plan is to increase electric and gas prices till only the rich can afford them and then the Government would subsidize everyone else. More locked in votes.

That isn't going to help anyone freezing in the dark because they are dependent on a solar electric power plant.

We should build more as the cheaper the energy is=more profit to hire more workers=lower unemployment.

When will idiots learn that employers don't hire people just because they are making a profit.

Because unemployment stimulates the economy, right?

Sorry if I don't buy the bullshit claim that our power plants are killing us. But you go ahead and see how well we work with everyone burning wood to stay warm.

Smoke from coal burning actually used to kill people in the USA. Short term kill, not long term with mercury or cancer, etc.

I guess we should not have cleaned it up any?
