As promised by Obama--he plans to bankrupt the coal industry in this country--by imposing a cap & trade on existing coal power plants.

Estimates are that this policy will cost the average home an additional $2000.00 per year in electric costs.

Now--since we are basically the only country in the world that will be adopting this policy. Obama needs to figure out how to keep our air over the United States, instead of wandering off to other countries. If we're real lucky maybe mother earth will decide not to do a global melt around our shores?

You voted for it--You got it!
 
As a Conservative, I believe this is a good thing. The poor need to be kept down, and whatever the government can do to ensure that, I agree with.
We rich people will merely have to shuffle a bit of our fortunes around to make up the difference. While the poor, who can't pay up, will have no recourse but to commit crimes or ask the government for assistance, thus enslaving them further.

Bwahahahahahaha!! :evil:

Nice try. But KMAN's got you beat. He's got an article saying it's going to cost $3,900 per household.

Do I hear $5000, anyone have $5000?

DUMB ASS. Already posted the You tube and the voice copy of Obama telling people in California he INTENDS TO BANKRUPT the coal fired plants and that he WANTS electricity to cost A LOT more so only the rich can afford it. Ohh he would have the Government subsidize the poor though, but SCREW the middle Class.

Almost 60 percent of our electricity comes from COAL, you RETARD. If he doubles and triples the operating costs of those plants Electricity will double and triple to, or do you not have4 a basic understanding of how the real world works?

He further , in those linked sites, stated he wants to drive the cost of Natural gas and Gasoline so high only the rich can afford it. That accounts for even more of our electricity generations.

And for some economic lessons, what do you think all the Corporations and Businesses will do when THEIR electricity doubles and triples? Not only we get hit with outrages electric bills but every damn thing we buy will cost 2 or 3 times more.

GOOD GOD you people are FUCKING MORONS.

OTOH, the $366 billion in annual revenues it would raise goes along way cutting down the deficit the conservatives are concerned about.

Incentivizing less pollution, cleaner air, probably less oil dependence, while putting a huge dent in the deficits.

What exactly is wrong with this picture?

I don't believe the cap & trade thing will fly. It IS a costly proposal, and in my opinion, wide open for Moon-sized [loop]holes. But the best reason to nix this particular proposal is that it won't be enough to reduce the carbon levels anyway.

DUMB ASS. ...

FUCKING MORONS ....

Are you really Walter? LOL

Have you any functioning brain cells? Obama has advanced this more than once, his words are available to anyone that wants to be educated. Your head in the sand ignorant response won't help you when your electric bill triples and your taxes triple locally so the Local Government can pay for THEIR electric bill, when your entire budget for food, clothing and well anything also triples because those companies have to triple their electric bill.

Get a clue DUMB ASS. Or continue to claim the minimal revenue brought it is worth the destruction of the middle class. Go visit one of those countries that is lucky to have electricity sometimes during the day and never at night, see how you like it, that is where we are headed if this crap passes.

in other news MORE conservatism capitalista outsourcing and job loss while globalization shuts down another small town factory at 10!

As a follow up, we will spotlight the 5000000 jobs that are being moved offshore because it's too expensive to operate in the US.
 
Why is it liberals never provide any logical talking points on the subject at hand???? They either call you a name or compare it to something else that is totally unrelated, or change the subject...

the liberal argument for everything is

"Bush Sucks"

"You don't like Obama so you must like Bush and Bush Sucks"

"You didn't complain about Bush(even if we did) and Bush sucks"

Oh yeah and Bush Sucks
