We will generate power with clean, nonfracked natural gas

If you look at the map and click on the various plants listed, you will see that they are listed as being closed, not converted to natural gas. I don't hear of any new NG plants being built near where I live to replace the coal-fired ones that are being closed.

The assumption seems to be, "Well, since the economy is down, we don't need that extra capacity."

The fact is that the loss of that capacity will not help the economy recover.

We will get much more power out of unicorn farts and pixie dust than what you suggest ...

We will generate power with clean, nonfracked natural gas

If you think there is sufficient "nonfracked" natural gas to generate more than a small fraction of our energy requirements in the future, you're sadly mistaken.

And, if you are anti-fracking, you have fallen victim to envirowhacko propaganda and are grievously malinformed.
