The president's 'Clean Power Plan' is worse than you think

According to the American Legislative Exchange Council, President Obama's "Clean Energy Plan" would take 33% of productive electrical capacity off the grid by 2020. And the Washington Free Beacon notes that another report shows that the plan would close 48% of all coal fired plants in the country.

As the Wall Street Journal points out, this plan is "regulation without representation." The president's rules would usurp the traditional role of states in managing their own electrical generation and saddle the economy with enormous costs while empowering the EPA to control vast swaths of the American economy.

As if all these folks are smarter than the lyin' king. One of the very few things he was honest about. But since it's necessary to save the erf, I guess it's okay. NOT! Good thing for us that the 'conservatives' control the house and senate to bring this to a screeching halt. Oh, wait. Let's see, fund pp, shut down power plants, reduce the military, reduce civilian firearm ownership etc, etc, etc. What could possibly go wrong?

Don’t you love the smell of dung fires wafting over the grass hut village early in the morning? No? You’ll learn to like it eventually. :>}

Wealth is, at its most fundamental level, measured by how much energy you can command. The more energy you have access to the richer you are.

This effort to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. This will not turn out well.

Humans are such dirty creatures, emitting carbon pollution and mucking up water. A 33% cut in their defilement of mother earth is the least that we can do.

Hey, maybe we should stem this plague by safely and legally snuffing out the lives of human spawn before birth. That would really save the planet.

Then we could use the fetal wastage for medical research to prolong the lives of the few environmentally enlightened people who deserve run the world.

Sure they do but after the neutering he did on them, they'll support his every whim.

The Revolution is almost at its peak. The Left thinks it can fully Take Power by probably next summer. The election after that would be an exercise in futility and we would then never know the true vote totals. The last election was an exercise in futility and was probably the last relatively honest election. The election was relatively honest. The results were not. We are Venezuela. The only difference is that Americans are pretty well armed, but will Americans use those arms effectively or will we Americans allow ourselves to be picked off little by little?

And replace their loss with what? What's the grand master plan there.
