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.
Unfortunately, they won't. Electricity rates will rise so much that everyone will simply sit in the heat and the darkness voluntarily. The only reason California experienced blackouts several years ago was that the liberals-in-charge had forbidden retail price hikes.
They've learned. Like frogs in the pot, we'll ration ourselves into the Dark Ages -- nodding all the while at the common sense and the wisdom of preventing climate change.
