300% inflation in energy costs in the last 4 years and the Incompetent in chief is tied in the polls.

Just how stupid are American voters?

This is part of a ongoing process that began sometime ago. Here is a map of many of the closings.

A listing of the proposed closings

He did close that! And he did say that energy costs would go out of sight. Obama’s plan to bankrupt the country is right on schedule. Happily, the East Coast will be hit hardest. They richly deserve it.

My Hometown
Bruce Springsteen

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
Id sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town
Hed tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
This is your hometown, this is your hometown

In `65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown, my hometown, my hometown

Now main streets whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no more
They’re closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back to
Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I’m thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good
Look around
This is your hometown

All part of comprehensive immigration reform. Change the U.S. to a third world country and you remove the motivation for citizens of third world countries to come here. Why leave India or Mexico when you just as easily light a candle and stay home?

I have an old Air Force buddy who works power production. I confirmed with him that shoving a large cable up a unicorn’s a$$ is not a valid power source. Just wanted libs to know that.

Luckily (and it is pure luck) lots of Natural Gas will be coming on line as the 0bamanaughts shut down Coal Fired Electric plants.

This nonsense is almost over. After January, Romney can reopen some coal plants, and get us to drilling more natural gas to replace them. It can be done without any wasteful grants to bankrupt greens.

We should rejoyce because the laid off miners and coal fired electricty plants will receive unemployment checks and food stamps, which when they spend them will create “$1.73 in trade for every $1.00 given in unemployment/food stamps.”

Just quoting Princess Pelosi and what the Dems will be saying at the convention when (actually if) they are asked about it.

“The closure of seven coal-fired electric plants in four states could be a sign of things to come as tough new emissions standards threaten to relegate America’s top energy source to the back burner.”

Candidate Romney should communicate with these companies privately — or perhaps even make a public policy speech — with the message that even if EPA is forcing them to shut down now, they should “idle” the plants involved rather than decommission them. With the implications that after January 2013, the restrictions will be removed or otherwise suspended or rescinded, and the plants will be welcomed back online by Washington.

If [hopefully President] Romney has any real intentions of restoring the supply side of America’s energy resources and production, immediate moves to get the EPA under control must be one of the first priorities of his fledgling administration. Even if that means firing all EPA managers (political appointees who serve “at the pleasure of the President”), and re-assigning job positions of civil service employees at EPA into slots where they can “do no harm”.

EPA is the single most destructive agency to the future of America.
It is time for it to go.
It’s that simple.
