The commission is comprised of five members, generally with two spots held by each party and the White House holding sway over the chairmanship.

Funny how that works eh.
Since republicans control both houses, maybe it should
be four republicans and the white house???

Obama pulls stimulus funds for 0% emission coal plant , wonder why

Federal utility regulators plan to raise questions later this month that could push the debate over the administration's climate rules to a fever pitch

Our forefathers would be shooting by now, and those citizens in "Coal Country" are well armed. Just sayin'.

I guess when this:

and this:

didn’t work the wanna-be communist agenda “democrats” decided to dream up insane regulations that demand less-than-background levels of naturally occuring substances in “air quality rules,” then point fingers at American industry.

Lock down the pipelines, let em freeze and sweat.

As freepers read the following critique about federal regulators, please bear in mind that unconstitutional federal government interference with intrastate commerce and other intrastate issues probably wouldn’t be a problem these days if state lawmakers hadn’t ratified the 17th Amendment, foolishly giving up the voices of the state legislatures in Congress.

While the feds do have the Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to stick their big noses into utilities traded across state borders, and also noting that we do need to protect the environment, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate environmental / climate issues.

But also consider that ignorance of the law is no excuse. And sometimes I think that constitutionally ignorant citizens DESERVE to have unconstitutionally big, corrupt federal government walk all over them.

Cut all the power to DC.

Rolling black outs are what number on the descent into 3rd world status?

[Soul of the South]

Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa proudly voted for Obama. Perhaps we will have an extraordinarily cold winter so these voters can appreciate that global warming is a hoax and there are consequences to shutting down coal fired power plants has consequences.

Hey Pennsylvania and other unionized coal miners and workers: Thanks for helping to elect obama twice. Sucks to be you. So sorry, my give-a-damn meter is not even hitting 0.00001.

Remember a few years ago when Texas experienced rolling blackouts? The cause was a cold snap that increased electric demand and two fossil fuel plants were offline for maintenance. The much vaunted windmills that supply nearly 20% of the electricity in Texas simply could not keep up with the demand. Texas officials were so desperate they were begging Mexico for electricity. Now imagine a hot summer day in the Midwest after the EPA has shutdown a number of coal fired plants and the windmills are in the doldrums. Expect the same kind of rolling blackouts, but covering likely a third of the country. Thanks to Obama’s EPA we may all soon be sweltering or shivering in our darkened homes and businesses.

If you are not making plans for an alternative power system then by all means do so.
