President Obama will announce Tuesday in a speech at Georgetown University that he plans to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants...

I see comments that he can't do this (change regulations) by himself. They don't understand how it works: He is the head of every regulation agency under the executive branch. He tells the regulators to write rules he wants, and they do as he controls them - he is the boss. That is legal. Therefore, whatever he wants is going to happen, period.

I have upgraded to a more powerful solar panel and charger and the best rechargeable batteries made. I can last for many years and have light and fans. I've updated methods of cooking, including an oven that does everything an inside oven does and it works on small or a large propane tank. I got a bunch of small bottles for that and it's only used when I need an oven. I also have a stove that puts out high heat using not many twigs. That is the end all stove that will always work on any small amount of biomass. I have two other methods of cooking so I'm fine for years.

Hussein can't do much to me. In fact, I'm putting together container food growing so I'll have fresh food to add to the other food I have.

However, if I have to give up air conditioning when I sleep, Hussein is toast.

Your Airstream and boat will serve you well if it comes to that. I wish you the best.

Wayne is making “Heroes Behind the Badge II” now. That is officers who lived through a shoot out and now live with the disabilities.

Nixon hears some of this stuff and pulls his arm as if to say, yeah... I'm not the worst president ever. All riiight! And I thought Carter was a fool...

The libs are soon about to see the results of their stupidity. This will effect everyone.

And the college students are about to wake up. Their health insurance, which is required by most universities and NOT covered by financial aid, has just gone up by as much as 1112%. I just got the notice from my daughter’s college today, and it clearly explained this was due to the “affordable care act.”

No power shortages while I live here in China. As a matter of fact I got my air con blowing full blast. China just signed a $60 billion oil pipeline deal with Russia. Electricity here is cheap too, about 10% of what it would cost in the USA.

Fascist . . . .

Here it is:

I'll bankrupt the industry. They can try but I'll bankrupt them

More of the same just in case

[Ranger Warrior]

Tyranny!

Oh, Obama isn’t only a true believer in Collectivism, he’s also all mobbed up in Agenda 21.

[thecodont]

and yet progressive means to move forward

Depends on which direction "forward" is.

The Republican Party, in its infancy, was considered "progressive" in its support of abolition.

Stay strong.

[autumnraine]

No, this is not dictatorship, this is fascism, pure and simple.

[autumnraine]

How does he think he has the power????

Since when did Congress ever tell him differently???

< If the GOP was smart they would run with this. >

If the GOP were smart, they’d realize there may be no more races in which to run.

While I agree with your antipathy, even in the projects, utilities are expected to be paid by the occupants. Other than the occasional yearly assistance.

To be honest, expect the project occupants to be upset about this.

[OneWingedShark]

Then what?

Lamp-posts are plentiful.

So Congress should start TOTALLY defunding his Administration, one Department after another - starting, of course, with the EPA.

I'll believe that after the NSA has been disbanded and its hardware sole off to private-corporations.

Governors and legislators have to stand up here. Time for governors to take command of their state militias.
