The message people need to know is that it will cost them big time on their electric bills.
Some may think that if they don’t work in a power plant, or don’t own stock in it, or don’t work anywhere due to retirement , that it won’t affect them.
Obama will cost us all if he is elected, that is just about guaranteed.
More than most people know. Margins are getting smaller and smaller all the time with way too few baseloads coming on line and a lack of transmission to get the power from here to there (especially the there's that won't allow baseloads).
Not to mention the fact that CO2 is respired by humans. ABout 2 pounds per day (give or take) x 365 days per year x 6 billion people, thats about 2 billions tons of CO2 per year.
Just hope the emission reduction plan isn't too onerus or I might have to find a closer parking spot at work so I don't breathe too much...
