If you like your electricity, you can keep your electricity. The White House announced the release of his “Clean Power Plan” late yesterday, which plans to cut carbon emissions from power plants in the US by 30%. Obama promised in his own message that this would result in lower energy prices, which sounds very similar to the promises made with ObamaCare — that later turned out to be the Lies of the Year once implemented:

It must be nice to be King and able to command the laws of nature to obey Your command.
King Canute had nothing on this egotist.
Electric companies should cheer him on. Shut down every coal plant. Don’t raise the price, as the Islamic Despot will call them on price gouging. Just let the brown outs begin. Strike first. Run commercials on how they agree that climate change must be tackled.
Let the jackass in Newark who voted for him run his fridge eight hours a day or go buy a generator. Let it begin.
I heard on the top of the hour news (Fox news I think it is) he called for 32% reduction.
I’ll wait patiently but futilely for some intrepid reporter to ask Obama what two chemicals constitute CO2 and in what proportions.
Where in U.S. Constitution does the President receive the right to regulate electric power companies? Americans have had enough of the Mugabe like rule by decree from the illegitimate “presidency” of Obama and his anti American Democrats.
Why not 100%? Eliminate all pollution. And mandate pollution-free cars. If I’ve learned anything from watching the Disney Channel, it’s that you can go anywhere in your imagination.
It’s good to be the boy-king. Not so great for the country, though.
and the Constitution is just a piece of paper and not the Law Of The Land
Your post is long, but you sure hit the nail square on the head
King Canute was smarter than Barack Obama, and he didn't actually think he could control the elements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Canute_and_the_waves
So when are people going to say ENOUGH!! And DO SOMETHING about it.?? I think some real civil disobedience is in order to stop this would be dictator...and I would start with his support...the REPUBLICANS!
Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto
The Star ^ | July 4, 2015 | Christopher Reynolds
"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don’t do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.

“The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”
“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”
“I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change
CAIRO – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.

Looks like Obama wants to implement what we have doing in California for several years. Now the rest of the country will get to pay the same $.32/KWH for electricity that we pay here.
