President Obama on Saturday tried to bolster public support for new rules his administration will announce next week on coal-firing power plants, arguing their carbon emissions are a nation health crisis – beyond hurting the economy and causing global warming.

“We don’t have to choose between the health of our economy and the health of our children,” Obama said in his weekly address. “As president and as a parent, I refuse to condemn our children to a planet that’s beyond fixing.”(continued)

The Clown Prince nobama once again proves that he hates you...and your family. At least if you aren’t going to a VA for care, he probably won’t kill you...yet.

Zer0 has a history of picking and choosing what laws he will enforce or not.
So what if states decided not to close their plants. To follow his lead and example. What would happen?

And yet coal country helped put him in office twice.

Ummm, West Virginia voted against a winning Democrat for the first time in maybe 100 years by voting against Obama... and they went 62-38 for Romney.

Why of course it will! If you are deceased because of freezing to death in the winter or die of heat stroke if you are elderly or have an compromised immune system then you can’t possibly have long term health problems.

The man is simply a Genius I tell you! A genius./s

Compare the air quality around coal plants today to that of the 1970s... and NOW we feel the need for radical change?? NOW our kids are in danger?!? SMH

The air around Gary IN back in the day was almost viscous. Heck, Bugs Bunny cartoons constantly made fun of the smog covering Los Angeles in the 1960s. Improving air quality in the US today should be #188 on our priority list. There is no need for major and radical change now. This is simply a power play.

"If you are not looking at an alternative electrical system you will shortly be spending quality time with your family and pets in the dark."

But we've read so many times from the official news, that them solar panels don't work. Solar panels sicken NIMBYs and kill innocent birds, firepersons and property values. They must be kept constantly spotless, and there's no way to store the energy from them.

[If that wasn't a load of irony, do I deserve a vacation trip to Venus?]

And when folks die from freezing to death in the winter or from heat stroke due to lack of electricity to power their air conditioning? I guess those “health problems” won’t count, because they aren’t health problems, they are deaths.

"Obama suggests his upcoming rule on coal plants will avert long-term health crisis"

What's the point in more coal regulations that assume to extend life when you've invented obamacare to shorten it?

See comment #31, if you have a smaller house (free do-it-yourself designs). If your house is very large, consider having a large masonry heater and/or solar hydronic heating system installed.

*So what if states decided not to close their plants. To follow his lead and example. What would happen?*

Then Zero would throw a temper tantrum, Holder would immediately sue, and the states would then take the latest stance of illegals - that they won’t come to court because it might be an uncomfortable environment for them. Holder and Zero start melting down as we chant ‘lame duck’ and have a good laugh.
