Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg on Friday unveiled a broad plan to eliminate all coal power plants and slow the expansion of the natural gas sector as part of a policy to fight climate change that he says would cut carbon emissions across the U.S. economy by 50% over the first 10 years.
The New York billionaire, who has devoted significant time and money toward fighting climate change in recent years, said the new plan is the first of several that would ultimately move the nation toward phasing out fossil fuels completely “as soon as humanly possible” — ideally before 2050.
Bloomberg's specific goals include:
-Closing the nation's remaining 251 coal power plants with clean energy by 2030. He says he'll release another plan in the coming weeks that outlines a policy to help communities impacted by the closures.
-Stop the “rush” to build new gas plants by imposing strict new emissions and health protections, although Bloomberg's team did not immediately respond to questions about how his policy would specifically impact energy companies' plans to create 150 new gas plants in the coming years.

Hmmmm. “Climate goals”? Keep it warm so foodstuff can be grown? Have any of these assclown CLIMAGEDDONISTS ever tried to grow cabbage at -20 deg? Don’t work to well.
Silly. How will he spread the good word if he can’t get to the little people. And I don’t mean “those” little people. :-)
So no way to charge those electric cars. Of course, no one will be able to afford one.
Too little, too late. How dare you? Half the Limousin liberals (who live on the coasts) will be underwater in ten years.

Where’s the plan to stop putting CO2 in Coke, Beer and Champagne?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don’t give it away. BAN YEAST! BAN FERMENTATION!
My rough and uneducated guess is that it would required 350 nuke plants to achieve his plan. Could not be done with renewable energy as the technology does not exist to replace 200+ plants.
I am ok with nukes if we use thorium reactors.
No more beans for Bloomie.

Yet he will restrict gas fire plant construction? I guess I missed the magic happens here step in that process, other than just saying it maybe a few details of how that's going to happen might be nice.
Back to the dark ages.
