Closing 200 power plants is going to cause brownouts or blackouts.

Does anyone now doubt that this president is “transforming America” as he promised when he was elected 5 years ago. He and his administration are destroying America one industry at a time, and driving us to bankruptcy. This is not a mistake, not done in ignorance, but a planned, purposeful assault on the only nation of its kind in the world, to make us “like the other nations”, ruled by socialists and tyrants. Freedoms light is but an ember of what it used to be, the lights have gone out in the “city on the hill”.
At this late hour, can it still be saved?

Closing 200 power plants is going to cause real pain and suffering to a whole lot of people.

What’s Obama planning to do? Replace those closed plants with solar panels and windmills? Maybe unicorns squirting out magic skittles for power?

This disruption is going to flash back in his face.

Good luck to the Obamanoids with trying to find a place to recharge their “smart” phone or “smart” car. Not very flippin’ “smart” if you ask me.

Article manages somehow to avoid a sharp drop in price of nat gas as a major factor in the switch from coal. Changes the equation.

Is this the spark that will light the lanterns?

We lived through the out of sight electricity prices forced on us by Enron's games. It was awful. People, especially those on fixed incomes, lost their homes because they couldn't fit $500 electric bills into their budget. The governor got booted out of office for it. Using air conditioning was out. We hung our clothes for a family of six outside to dry instead of using the dryer. We literally unplugged everything unless we were actively using it. It was tough, we had teenagers at home at the time.

We didn't learn what Enron was up to until it was too late. Everyone said it was weird, how is it that one year we had enough power but the following year we didn't (by a significant margin) because they were shutting down and rerouting supply and laughing all the way to the bank.

By the time people start getting the massive bills after Obama's antics, the plants will already have been shut down. They will find a way to blame it on Republicans and the people will buy it. We will all be impoverished what with Obamacare premiums and skyrocketing electricity prices.

Obama is doing exactly what he said he would do but the masses didn't listen, they were too busy imbuing him with power to bring about whatever was their pet fantasy.

Forget the price of energy going up how about the availability? If you are not making plans for an alternative electrical system at your house plan to spend a lot of time in the dark.
