Don’t worry. I’m sure the Obama administration will find some way to put an end to this.

Love this closing line of the article:

“It’s a whole different world to 2008, when US oil production was at a historical low and Sarah Palin was drawing liberal ire declaring that “Drill, Baby Drill!” was the answer to all of America’s problems. Suddenly she seems to have been right.”

Sarah Palin was right about...just about everything.

And 70-80% of our electrical energy comes from coal which the Marxist regime is trying to stifle. When will this treasonous activity stop?

because the Obamashite has issued some much paper money your paper money is turning into the equivalent of pre 1933 German Marks.

“And 70-80% of our electrical energy comes from coal which the Marxist regime is trying to stifle. When will this treasonous activity stop?”

When conservatives get off their fat butts and attend local city council, county board and schoolboard meetings to kick out the commies and fascists infesting their neighborhoods.

Revolution boils up from the bottom not from the top. Trying to elect conservatives to congress in order to change the DC fascist culture is a fool’s errand.

Political power lies in the states and local governments. If people can’t understand that, try reading about 1775 and the Committees of Safety. The Founders left us a blueprint to destroy tyrants.

Good answer. It’s all relative. Or nominal...

Not that high. Less than 40%

Data:
Net Generation by Energy Source: Total (All Sectors)
