It should resonate beyond just the coal producing states. This would cause big electricity rate increases across the country.
Obama = higher energy prices across the board.
You’ll need that $500 welfare check and then some to pay for gasoline and electricity.
Obama actually said it would cause big increases. I suspect that really doesn’t worry him since the Dems will be able to pin the blame on big oil and big coal and the idiots that vote for them will swallow that lie whole.
Here’s his quote:
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”
