It’s not like Americans weren’t warned.

All in the name of fighting “climate change,” of course.

Has that ever really been a barrier for this administration?

Meanwhile, in Congress:

Where are the Republicans? Oh, right, out playing golf with Obama and offering “help” in return for campaign contributions. Soon we will be Greece.

[Secret Agent Man]

We are past greece and dont even know it yet.

[chris37]

Nothing to worry about. The GOP will sue! Oh, they'll sue, they'll sue, they'll sue. Sue, sue, sue, sue, sue...

[realcleanguy]

Soon the USA will become a 3rd world country, no electricity, no water, no sewage, and no order. Just like Somalia. It seems to be the Democratic Model

[Awgie]

Hello Republican controlled Congress! HELLO! Is anyone there? Who turned out the lights? Where is everybody?

[Mr. Jeeves]

We lose cheap energy, we lose our civilization. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Obama to announce major escalation of ‘war on energy the economy’

[stockpirate]

All who donate large sums of money to any party, all memembers of congress, and WH staff have to disclose any holdings in green companies that would benefit from this.

What he really means is war on the middle class lifestyle. We don’t really need AC especially in the deep South and Southwest in the summer. Turn those ceiling fans on and get out a bathing suit. In the winter put on some clothes for God’s sake. Or fire up the fireplace that’s what its for. :-)

[GeronL]

Yep, it has made the US a powerhouse economy for a long time

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Fire up the fireplace” LOL...the progs have banned those here in the SF Bay Area. Just freeze in the dark, you proles.

I went into the energy biz after graduating as an ME in the early 70s. I knew how essential economical energy was to American might. Got out of the industry around 2000 as the political stranglehold was killing it and it’s gotten MUCH worse since then.

Power Up Unicorn Rangers!!!!

[GeronL]

Sheeple have been conditioned to believe the most outrageous things in this country. They think we can replace power plants with wind and solar. Which are super-expensive and intermittent at the best of times which can cause outages and transformers if the load level fluctuates too much.

[HangnJudge]

And when you come to your last Unicorn?
What then...

[FreedomPoster]

It is easily argued that the American economic miracle of the latter half of the 20th Century was built on the pillars of inexpensive energy and low government regulation. Obama aims to do away with both.

Oh, no. Burning wood causes an increase in particulat emissions which causes minority chillun in the city to have asthma.

Put on a ski hat and some mittens, you'll be fine.
