I read today that the Swiss are doing the same thing.
Hope they enjoy getting by on high country cheese.
It is coming here as well. By 2014 many coal power plants in the USA will be shut down by the EPA because they are not “clean”. Unfortunately the windmills and solar panels promised to take up the slack are not yet constructed nor are they viable. Large sections of middle America will begin to experience the frequent brownouts and blackouts of a third world country. Once the people get angry about interrupted electrical supplies the government will step in and begin rationing power. The Greens will be happy as what is left of our manufacturing economy flees to China and other countries who care nothing about emissions.
