Content here. Not just coal, but energy prices in general will skyrocket under Obama, in the interest of saving the planet (and making the sheeple dependent on government). Energy prices are the beef. The voters' beef!
It's funny listening to this guy when he's off the teleprompter. Lots of uh's and pauses as his Harvard-trained content filter goes into overload. Every so often, it malfunctions, and he tells us what he really thinks. It tends to happen when he's got a friendly audience, such as that fundraiser on Frisco's billionaire's row, where he gave the bitter clingers speech. Or that Chicago talk radio interview where he ran on about flaws in the Constitution and how best to achieve redistribution. Or this meeting last January with the San Francisco Chronicle editors:
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[sic] on to consumers.
It is not “saving” the planet.
It is ALWAYS the $$$. Always. They want to make their friends wealthier with trading “CO2 credits” - the trading market is in...Chicago!
They also want to make their SilLY-CON Valley pals rich who are investing tons of their money into green energy.
The goal is to change our behavior. Sorry, when it’s cold, I need to put the heat on. We aren’t superhuman like Barack Obama is.
