Interesting photograph!
He looks like a gargoyle!
That would be one of the final nails in the coffin of the US market.

He should be more concerned with NK and Iran trying to change our climate.
The List, ping
Obama has promised to increase electricity rates. The rates will be increased to reduce consumption (forced conservation) and subsidize less efficient forms of energy. If energy prices increase enough to substantially reduce consumption, production will move to countries unaffected by CO2 restrictions. Substantial reductions in CO2 will involve closing many coal fired plants. Without these plants, energy shortages will occur. The only technology that can replace coal plants are nuke plants. Since nuke plants are not in the plan, it looks like a game of chicken to me. Rat politicians that vote to shut down coal plants will be run out of town unless the closure can be kicked down road. Obama has threatened to unleash the EPA unless politicians vote for substantial CO2 reduction goals.
This CO2 reduction nonsense provides a strong opening for conservatives. The midwest will be devasted by the effects of CO2 taxes and coal plant closure.
Climate Change.I get up some mornings,it rains,others the sun shines,cold one day,hot the next.What’s the big deal?
This is the worst crock ever. It really sickens me when GOP politicians get on board with this.
