Did I miss his coronation? Did someone make him king when I wasn’t watching?

Seriously, he can’t do that - he has no authority to do that.

How about the power companies just say, um.... NO??????? What is he going to do, send in his brownshirts to make them?

Hello to Fast Forward. Should have guess what the campaign slogan meant if zer0 was reelected. Well, at least, for the moment it is only a plan vision. When put on the Fast Forward track, all bets are off.

Not when the voting machines changed the Romney votes to Obama votes and thee polling place officials, when questioned about it, said that the vote went to Romney even though the machine said otherwise.

This queer bird needs to be regulated right out of the White Hut.

Apparently the Republicrat Party is going to stand idly by and watch the nation sink like the Titanic.

Every state that is currently feeding California power, needs to cut the line and let the liberals there deal with Obama and his idiotic dictates.

Add to that the Nissan Leaf, Toyota RAV4EV, Mitsubishi i-miEV, Ford Focus Electric, Coda, and Volvo C30 electric.

Obama is euthanizing the electric car business. The only green he truly has an interest in is donor dollars. Three and 1/2 more years of this crap and more.

Obama will couch the effort not only in terms of the nation’s domestic priorities, but as a way to meet the administration’s international pledge to reduce the country’s greenhouse-gas emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels. According to an independent analysis by the World Resources Institute, the United States will need to regulate existing power plants and take other steps as well to meet that goal.

WRI’s mission is to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth’s environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations.

When to the rolling blackouts start?

I hope everyone is has a full supply of ammo. Obama's people think blackouts are an invitation to loot. I will be looking at it as an opportunity to cull the herd. I am deadly serious about that.

FYI.....

January 2008: Early in his first campaign for the White House, then-Senator Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle:

”Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.... Coal-powered plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”
obama 2008 campaign video coal prices skyrocket

November 2, 2008
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/02/obama-ill-make-energy-prices-skyrocket/

...”The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.

You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — 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.

They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, “Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, they’re going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars,” or whatever their number is. Um, if you can’t persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing lightbulbs and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.

If we can’t make that argument persuasively enough, you — you, uh, can be Lyndon Johnson, you can be the master of Washington. You’re not going to get that done.”……………
