Bingo!

A nice retired couple in our neighborhood had a “No Coal Plant” sign in their front yard. This winter was bad, and it was nearly obscured by a big snow drift. They are on a fixed income and any price spikes in fuel or food is going to hurt them. I didn’t try to explain how coal is responsible for 50 per cent of the electricity generated in this country, there is no arguing with the hypnotized.

But, I am eager to see what/where their ire is going to be directed when their utility bill spikes to some unbelievable figure in the not too distant future.

Wait until a nice cold day and cut the electric wires leading into their house. Put a notice on their door that says the power company is honoring their ideology and therefore their power has been cut due to them not being able to find any electricity made by non-coal plants. State that it might be several days more until they can find some non-coal energy for them. In the mean time, stay warm.
