We are so screwed.

Work to supply your own energy.

$15 a gallon gas anyone?

[TruthWillWin]

That (harsher energy regulations) is just the tip of the iceberg.

Leaving the planet is not an option, what country on the globe is?

Keep in mind that most "energy-saving regulations" are being pushed by industries that benefit greatly from them -- and I don't mean these silly alternative energy companies, either. For example, some of the strongest supporters of the Obama administration's stricter diesel emission standards were truck manufacturers. The reason for this should be obvious: the stricter standards force trucking companies to buy new trucks with new engines within a certain period of time. Basically, the truck manufacturing industry uses the new emission standards to artificially stimulate demand that wouldn't otherwise exist.

I'm sure you'll find that the same is true for these stupid regulations that apply to industrial boilers. This is nothing more than state-sponsored corporate fascism.

I am wondering what will happen to all my friends when the coal fired power plants close because of Obama. I retired from a coal fired power plant 4 years ago last month and could not believe what happened in 2008. Now a repeat on 2012.

Harsher freakin energy relations?!

Pshaw

Sharia law will be in effect as soon as possible.

F we’ll be lucky to be allowed to celebrate Christmas one last time this year.

We are headed for Canadian-European gas prices. $6-$7 gas here we come.

[I still care]

They are going to have a special good time in the coal areas, like WV and PA.

WV, my heart goes out to you. The idiotic electorate has done you dirty, by voting in your enemy.

PA, I doubt you are smart enough even to understand what you’ve done to yourselves.

$8 dollar a gallon gas by 2015. $9 diesel. And that means economic disaster...

[Chgogal]

Dummycrat women, blacks and hispanics jump for joy as their Dear Leader makes us all poorer and poorer and all the while blaming Bush for the outcome.

Effing idiots!

[KosmicKitty]

The problem is the people who re-elected this clown won’t be paying a dime for their energy.

We, on the other hand, are screwed.

No economic recovery for you!!!

Thank you Richard Nixon and the Republican establishment for giving us the EPA.
