Wait until no go zones (like Dearborn, Michigan) that enforce sharia law get discounted electricity. Not whether but when.

The jizya taxes will never stop.

Have John McCain and Lindsay Graham announced they’ll support our leader yet on this issue in the name of bipartisanship?

If I were the coal industry...

I wonder how many coal-country US Senators went along with the invasion of the US without getting a promise this wouldn't happen?

They can't be this stupid.

An administration that denied it was waging a War on Coal has now come out and publicly declared its intention to shut down coal-fired power plants - putting hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work and sending electricity prices skyrocketing. Obama claims he can do it all with no say from our elected representatives in Congress, but his designated point person for the effort, Gina McCarthy, awaits Senate confirmation.

Additionally, it will lead to electricity rationing that could cause thousands or millions of households to be without electricity during the day so that businesses can maintain some level of productivity.

The fact is that, thanks to envirowackos, there is barely enough electrical generating capacity to meet current demand. If we lose the coal-powered generating plants, demand will far outweigh capacity and most cities will be left with blackouts.

This, by far, is the most dangerous of zero's radical agenda and guarantees that America will be a 3rd world country for about 20 seconds as it plummets through centuries of progress and freedom to finally land in the world's garbage dump where the other 5th and 6th world countries exist.

If we don't stand up en masse and tell the politicians that this plan of zero's is wrong and will lead to disaster, they will think that Americans approve and go ahead with implementing the plan. So, if you're willing to give up TV, movies, concerts, radio, the Internet, air conditioning, cooking, microwave popcorn, etc., etc., etc., just do nothing.

Look for “credits” for “poor” to buy their gubmint-created prohibitivly expensive heat and electricity. (financed by evil rich people)
