Last Wednesday, just days before Christmas, Carol Browner, Obama's radical Climate Czar, announced new EPA restrictions for mercury, arsenic, and other toxic substances being outputted into the atmosphere by coal-fired power plants. Compliance is required before 2014. Hailed as a victory by environmentalists, it is expected that it could mean the demise of nearly 60 existing coal-fired power plants with upwards of 22 million customers being affected; mostly in the already beaten up and declining cities and states in what is known as the Rust Belt. Some communities could see their power bills rise by as much as 30%. Most of the country may see rates go up by 10% as this nation's nearly 600 coal-fired power producing facilities are retrofitted with expensive new or modified smokestack "scrubbers" that will be needed to drastically reduce these types of emissions.

Carol "Director of Socialists International" Browner, Political Commissar of Energy and Climate Change, "And I jess wanna hep yew."
Unconfirmed and unaccountable socialist Carol Browner was forced to submit her resignation during a purge of The Obammunist Administration's overt communists. However, the resignation didn't take effect until the end of the year.
American free enterprise capitalist utilities now witness her parting anti-capitalist and Obama Administration goals. On the next to last business day of the year.

From my workplace I can see the coal fired power plant, the only one in Muskegon county. It's social justice don'tcha know!

What part of “NECESSARILY SKYROCKET” didn’t you understand?
It hascome to pass that The People have no representation in some of the most important questions in their lives. An imperious command from some useless little fart of a bureaucrat-—and power plants must close!
It’s all about Jobs people.
Obama has destroyed a hundred jobs for every one he has created.
It is all a part of his plan to destroy our economy and bring us down to third world status.
Open your eyes. Give this man another 4 years and he will have done his job. We will be a third world country.
