The chief environmental regulator in the United States had some blunt words of reality regarding the administration’s climate change regulations.

The Clean Power Plan that will require drastic cuts in 47 states’ carbon dioxide emissions – consequently shifting America’s energy economy away from affordable, reliable coal – will adversely impact poor, minority families the most.

When speaking about the higher energy prices caused by the administration’s climate regulations on power plants, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy said, “We know that low-income minority communities would be hardest hit.”

"necessarily skyrocket" - They don't even camouflage the agenda, yet it moves forward unabated.

[Harpotoo]

Too bad the ill-informed Dem voters will never read this. Sad really...

[impimp]

Of course he admits they will be hardest hit...this will be used to justify reparations and other welfare.

[joshua c]

Not to worry. Subsidies will be next. Soon everyone will be receiving some kind of check from the govt.

So we can bend over and kiss our collective ass good bye.

Cloward Piven Ho!

Wealth is, at its most fundamental level, measured by how much energy you can command. The more energy you have access to the richer you are.

This effort to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. This will not turn out well.

Those are code words for "brand new trillion dollar entitlement program" and "OK, crackas, fork it over!"

Not quite. Only the politically privileged [ the ones that the politicans favor] will receive subsidies. The rest will be on their own. Translation: The rest will slowly starve to death.

[Uversabound]

So in other words, despite his rhetoric, his policies will keep poor black America where it is.....evil.

[Old Sarge]

Obola TOLD THEM that “prices would skyrocket” - the Left always telgraphs their punches.

Couple that with Soros shorting the coal futures, it’s a twofer for the Left.

[FlingWingFlyer]

All part of the DemocRATS’ War On The Poor. But hey! They can still vote without a voter I.D. so they good!

[nascarnation]

You have indentified the solution.

Energy stamps!

The supreme islamic Imam obama, wants his EPA to deliver a knock out punch to every class in America except the wealthiest of elites, does it really matter how hard the punch is if knocks everybody out.

When speaking about the higher energy prices caused by the administration’s climate regulations on power plants, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy said, “We know that low-income minority communities would be hardest hit.”

The leftist EPA Administrator apparently has a disordered mind because she believes that there really is global warming and the culprit is carbon dioxide. Being far from settled science, she is willing to trash many working families in the USA.

Like Hillary Clinton, she wants to force her version of what is good for our country on the middle class even if it destroys them.

Coal was created by solar energy many years ago, and is a repository of energy that can be unleashed at will day and night. Wind and solar photovoltaic sources only work when there is wind and when there is daylight.

Centralized government does not work as can be seen in Venezuela.

George Soros is buying coal company stocks now that the prices are cheap.
